SAN ANTONIO — A leasing office employee was stabbed at a north-side apartment complex early Wednesday afternoon by one of the tenants, police say.
It happened around 9:45 a.m. on the 13000 block of Blanco Road near Wurzbach Parkway.
We're told that a woman who lives at the complex was inside the office waiting to speak to someone when she suddenly got up from her chair with a knife and stabbed the leasing agent. The suspect then fled to her apartment where she barricaded herself, according to police.
Police were finally able to get her to come out of her apartment and onto her balcony.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
The suspect faces charges of aggravated assault.
This is a developing story.
