Police: Suspect lashes out, possibly with machete, after seeing man with ex-girlfriend

Victim suffered cuts on both arms

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are trying to find a 36-year-old man who they say went on the attack, possibly with a machete, after seeing his ex-girlfriend with another man.

They say he cut that other man on his arms.

Police said the attack came by surprise around 3:30 a.m. Thursday at The Jackson apartments, located on Jackson-Keller near Loop 410.

They say the suspect, who had been hanging out in the parking lot, used either a large knife or machete to cut the 37-year-old victim after he saw him walking with his ex-girlfriend.

The victim was stable as he was loaded into an ambulance, officers said.

The suspect took off in a white Honda before police arrived.

However, investigators say they do know his name.

They said they also had a few addresses that they planned to visit in their attempt to find him.
