A pre-dawn fight inside a South Side home left a man in his 30s clinging to life and a woman in handcuffs early Saturday, according to San Antonio police. Officers were called just before 4 a.m. to a residence in the 700 block of Peabody Avenue, where they found the man suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said, as per KENS5.
Investigators say the woman involved initially ran from the scene on foot but came back about 40 minutes later. When she returned to the Peabody Avenue home, officers detained her on site.
As reported by KENS5, the stabbing happened during an altercation inside the residence between the victim and his girlfriend, and the San Antonio Police Department is leading the investigation. The station attributed the timeline and details of the man’s injuries to SAPD, which had not released the names of those involved at the time of publication.
What police say
SAPD told reporters that officers discovered the injured man inside the home and that emergency crews transported him to a local hospital with multiple stab wounds. After briefly fleeing the area, the woman returned to the Peabody Avenue block and surrendered to officers, who detained her while detectives began collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.
Police described the address as an active crime scene and said they were still piecing together what led up to the stabbing. They asked anyone with information to contact them.
Timeline and response
According to KENS5, officers were dispatched just before 4 a.m., and the woman returned to the scene roughly 40 minutes later and turned herself in. Detectives stayed on Peabody Avenue into the morning, canvassing the neighborhood for witnesses and checking for any surveillance cameras that might have captured the incident or its aftermath.
SAPD investigators have not announced any charges and said the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the San Antonio Police Department’s non-emergency line or submit tips through the department’s official channels.
