SAN ANTONIO — A Christmas celebration turned violent on the northeast side when an unwanted guest arrived, SAPD says.
Police say a family was celebrating Christmas in their front yard in the 5900 block of Castle Hunt around 1:22 a.m. Thursday. That’s when police say a man walked by who lived down the street.
The father “did not like this man” and confronted him. Police say the father punched the man and the man walked home.
A few minutes later, the man came back with some friends and allegedly stabbed the father in the chest and hit the father’s son across the forehead with a baseball bat.
The suspects fled the scene.
The father was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
The son was taken to the hospital with a gash and a bump on the forehead. He is in stable condition.
