A late-night stabbing on the Northeast Side sent a man in his 20s to the hospital after he showed up wounded at an apartment on the 8500 block of Laurens Lane, according to police. He was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center with stab wounds to his lower back and was listed in stable condition. Investigators say they still have not located a crime scene or identified any suspects.
San Antonio police were called around 10:13 p.m. on Tuesday after the injured man arrived at the apartment seeking help, according to News 4 San Antonio. Detectives believe the stabbing likely happened somewhere else before the victim made it to the Laurens Lane unit. They are following leads but have yet to pinpoint where the attack took place.
Investigation and context
Detectives are canvassing nearby apartments, pulling surveillance video and interviewing potential witnesses as they try to piece together the victim's movements before he arrived at the complex. From Jan. 1 through May 31, 2026, San Antonio police logged 12,783 offenses against persons and 55,160 total offenses citywide, underscoring the volume of violent-incident work the department faces, according to the City of San Antonio. For tips and non-emergency reports, SAPD lists its main non-emergency line at 210-207-SAPD (210-207-7273) and Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP (7867) on the City of San Antonio.
How to help
Police are asking anyone who saw the victim before he reached Laurens Lane, or who has relevant video, to hang on to that footage. Even short doorbell or dash-cam clips can help detectives build a timeline or spot a crucial detail. Witnesses are encouraged to write down exact locations, times and any vehicle descriptions or clothing details before calling, so investigators can move quickly on solid information.
SAPD has not released additional details about the victim or a possible motive, and no arrests have been announced. The case remains active as detectives work to determine where the stabbing started and who was involved. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
