Man stabbed in the back at Fort Worth Taco Cabana in critical condition, police say
A man was in critical condition after he was stabbed Tuesday night at a restaurant in south Fort Worth, police said.
At about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, police were dispatched to a Jack In The Box restaurant at 804 West Seminary Drive about a stabbing, Fort Worth police said in a news release.
The Fort Worth Fire Department and MedStar also responded.
Officers found the victim, an adult male, who had suffered two stab wounds in his upper left back, according to the release.
The victim told police that he had been at a Taco Cabana restaurant at 4313 South Freeway (Interstate 35W) with another man and they had a “verbal confrontation,” police said in the release.
The victim said the confrontation quickly escalated to physical violence when the suspect pulled a knife and stabbed the victim twice in his back.
The victim ran from Taco Cabana to the Jack In The Box to seek medical assistance and the suspect fled the scene, according to the release.
The victim, whose identity has not been released, was taken to a local hospital to be treated for life-threatening injuries, police said.
The suspect remains at-large and police say the department’s Criminal Investigation Unit will investigate the assault.
