A stabbing incident near a San Antonio downtown shelter has led to a manhunt for the perpetrator. According to KENS 5, two homeless men were involved in a dispute outside of Haven for Hope which resulted in one man stabbing the other in the chest before fleeing.

The assault occurred earlier today, with officers being dispatched to the 1200 block of West Martin Street, just before 1 a.m., as law enforcement officials pointed out. Initially, the police stated that they were aware of the suspect’s identity. However, subsequent details clarified the attacker's status. San Antonio Police reported the victim was taken to University Hospital and is in stable condition, following the knife attack that has raised concerns about safety in the vicinity of the shelter.

Contrary to earlier beliefs that the suspect was at large, News 4 San Antonio provided an update stating that the aggressor, a 45-year-old male, was later found and arrested. He has been charged with aggravated robbery after it emerged that the suspect also robbed the victim.

Further details revealed by police show that the victim was initially asleep at a bus stop when approached by the assailant. After their initial confrontation, they separated, yet the suspect returned half an hour later to commit the stabbing. This sequence of events illustrates, an alarming reality for those seeking refuge in the shadows of Haven for Hope, a place where one man's sanctuary became his site of victimization.
