A STABBING OCCURRED YESTERDAY ON THE 1400 BLOCK OF FREEDOM BOULEVARD, IN WHICH THE VICTIM SUFFERED FROM LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. WATSONVILLE POLICE UNITS RESPONDED TO A CALL AT 10:47 P.M. ABOUT THE STABBING, BUT THE SUSPECT, AN EARLY-20S HISPANIC MALE, HAD FLED WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED ON SCENE, AND THE VICTIM WAS ALREADY EN-ROUTE TO WATSONVILLE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE SUSPECT GAVE A THREATENING LOOK TO THE VICTIM, WHICH HE RETURNED. THE SUSPECT THEN STABBED THE VICTIM IN THE ARM AND CHEST, AND THEN FLED. THE VICTIM WAS IN CRITICAL CONDITION WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL, BUT IS NOW IN STABLE CONDITION AT BAY AREA TRAUMA CENTER. THE SUSPECT STILL WANTED BY POLICE, AND THE CASE IS STILL ONGOING.
