Woman found stabbed at downtown park after fighting off suspect who tried to assault her, SAPD says

Police say the woman was likely stabbed under a nearby bridge and walked over the Piazza Italia Park to get help.

SAN ANTONIO — A woman was found stabbed downtown early Thursday morning, telling police an unidentified suspect tried to force himself onto her and used a knife when she fought him away, authorities say. 

The stabbing happened around 1:45 a.m., after the victim resisted the suspect's sexual advances. She was then able to escape to the parking lot of a nearby park, police say, and taken by first responders to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
