A late-night attack on San Antonio's North Side has left a man in critical condition after he was found stabbed multiple times along a busy stretch of West Avenue, according to police.
Officers were called around 10:17 p.m. Saturday to the 11000 block of West Avenue for what dispatchers initially labeled a "cutting in progress" call. When they arrived, they found a man suffering from several stab wounds to his torso. First responders performed life-saving measures at the scene before rushing him to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, News 4 San Antonio reports.
Because of how gravely he was injured, officers said the victim was not able to explain what led up to the stabbing or provide much detail about the attack.
Police: Suspect Still At Large
Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened along the North Side roadway. No suspect has been identified and no arrests have been made, according to News 4 San Antonio. Detectives have not released any description of a suspect or possible motive as they continue to process the scene and look for witnesses.
11000 Block Has Appeared In Recent Police Calls
The 11000 block of West Avenue has surfaced in other serious calls this year. On Feb. 17, a man was killed in a hit-and-run at a North Side apartment complex near Blanco Road, according to KSAT. That earlier incident, which happened close to the same stretch, underscores the corridor's recent run of high-profile police responses, local reporting shows.
