Man slashed several times in knife attack near motel downtown, SAPD says

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are searching downtown trying to find a man who attacked someone with a knife early Friday morning.

The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. in the 900 block of South Frio Street, not far from Guadalupe Street and Interstate 10.

According to police, a man in his 20s or 30s suffered non-life-threatening injuries after he was cut several times by another man. The victim told officers he got into a disagreement with the man, but didn’t know why he was upset because he didn’t speak Spanish.

Police said the suspect, who lives in a limo outside a nearby funeral home, ran from the scene along with a woman who was also living with him.

The victim made his way across the street to the River Inn Motel, where he knocked on the door of a friend’s room for help. He was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, where he’s expected to recover.

SAPD said they are now looking for both the assailant and the woman, who is believed to be a witness.

The investigation into the attack is ongoing, police said.
