Greenville County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to Hunts Bridge Road late Friday night after a report of a stabbing that left one person injured. Details about the victim's condition, a possible suspect, or what led to the attack have not been released.
According to dispatch, deputies responded to the reported stabbing incident on Hunts Bridge Road late Friday night, per FOX Carolina. The station reports that details are limited at this time and says it has reached out to the Greenville County Sheriff's Office for more information.
Few Details Released So Far
Dispatch confirmed only that one victim was involved in the stabbing, without offering further specifics on the person's injuries or hospitalization status. The station's report does not indicate whether anyone has been arrested or identified as a suspect in connection with the incident.
Hunts Bridge Road is mentioned in reports about the Berea area, and the article describes prior law-enforcement incidents in the vicinity.
A Corridor With a Troubled History
In June 2024, deputies responded to a home on Hunts Bridge Road after an infant was found unresponsive in a bathtub, a case that led to a homicide-by-child-abuse charge against the child's mother after the infant died the following month; she had initially been arrested for placing four children at risk of harm, according to the Greenville News. Two months later, the cited FOX Carolina material does not provide verified details about an incident at Harry's Quick Stop at 24 Hunts Bridge Road.
The corridor's troubles extend beyond Greenville County lines. In October 2024, a high-speed pursuit that began near the intersection of Highway 14 and Hunts Bridge Road ended with shots fired at a law enforcement officer and two suspects arrested on attempted murder charges, according to the Laurens County Sheriff's Office. That vehicle had reportedly been stolen in an earlier carjacking in the city of Greenville.
The Countywide Backdrop
Greenville County Sheriff's Office deputies, under Sheriff Hobart Lewis, oversee more than 500 sworn deputies and route all incoming 911 calls through a communications center staffed by more than 50 telecommunicators. Should the case eventually result in charges, South Carolina law provides for a range of outcomes depending on what investigators determine about intent: a conviction for Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature carries up to 20 years in prison under state law, according to Justia Law.
Violent crime involving assaults is not uncommon in the county. The available sources cited here do not establish aggravated-assault arrest totals for 2022 or 2023, nor do they establish a 2024 county ranking for intimate-partner homicides.
No further information about Friday's stabbing has been released. FOX Carolina says it has reached out to deputies for an update, and Hoodline will continue to follow the case as new details emerge.
