In the early hours of Monday on the southeast side of San Antonio, a homecoming turned violent when residents of an apartment encountered an unexpected presence—an intruder, who claimed the space was once his own, was found inside by the current occupants; the standoff quickly escalated to a physical confrontation, resulting in the intruder being stabbed with his own knife, San Antonio police report.
Around 3 a.m., officers went to Southeast Military Drive after reports of a stabbing. They found a man in his 20s who had forced his way into an apartment and argued with the residents. During the fight, the man pulled a knife, but it was turned against him and he was stabbed, KENS 5 reported.
The man was rushed to a local hospital in critical condition, but his status was later updated to stable; meanwhile, the investigation into the incident is ongoing, and authorities have yet to confirm if the invader, or the residents acting in self-defense, will be charged in the wake of the event, as the legalities of the situation are deliberated and eyewitness accounts are scrutinized.
Police are still untangling the sequence of events that led to the stabbing, the weapon—an apparently ill-fated choice of the intruder—becoming an instrument of his own wounding, with no definitive word on charges as the residents involved claim a justifiable response to the perceived intrusion, FOX San Antonio disclosed.
