Medford Police Department Investigating Weekend Stabbing at NE City Car Wash
The Medford Police Department was investigating a weekend stabbing incident on the northeast side of the city.
On Saturday at about 6:10 a.m., an MPD officer was conducting an extra patrol at the Delta Waters Car Wash at the corner of Crater Lake Highway and Delta Waters Road.
The officer made contact with occupants of a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot, discovered that one of the occupants had just been assaulted with a knife and the suspect had fled just prior to the officer's arrival. The 44-year-old male victim was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where he was in stable condition.
Police officers immediately established a perimeter in the area and an off-duty Jackson County Sheriff's Office deputy and K-9 assisted with a search. The suspect was not located. An MPD detective responded to the scene and has interviewed the involved parties and witnesses.
Detectives were developing suspect information and are not releasing a description or name of any suspect at this time. It is believed the victim and suspect know each other, and this was an assault stemming from a previous disagreement.
This investigation is ongoing and the incident will be updated as more information becomes available.
