Suspect Identified and Arrested at Home
Sheriff's officials identified Delgado as the suspect in the stabbing, according to the report. Deputies arrested him around 8:30 a.m. Saturday at his home, the article notes, and he was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on suspicion of attempted murder.

Not the First Stabbing to Rattle San Marcos This Year
This is not the only violent stabbing to hit San Marcos recently. Deputies searched the Center Drive shopping complex after a March 27 stabbing, looking for a 25-year-old man suspected in the attack that left a victim with non-life-threatening wounds. The two cases mark a second stabbing investigation in the city within the span of several months.
As of now, the condition of the victim from Friday's stabbing on Woodland Parkway has not been released, and it remains unclear whether Delgado has entered a plea or appeared in court.
