SAN ANTONIO – A man was hospitalized with critical injuries after he was stabbed outside of a far North Side hotel, according to San Antonio police.
Officers responded just after midnight Wednesday to the motel in the 21000 block of Encino Commons Boulevard, near Highway 281 and Evans Road.
The 37-year-old victim and another man got into an altercation outside the hotel.
After the argument, the victim was attacked and stabbed by the suspect with a knife, according to an SAPD preliminary report.
The victim ran inside and asked the hotel clerk for help, while the suspect fled from the scene in a vehicle, police said.
SAPD’s report said the victim, who did not elaborate about the argument, was taken to the hospital. The man’s injuries are no longer critical, the report stated.
Police believe the alleged suspect was staying at the hotel. It is unclear whether the victim was also staying at the hotel. Police believe the victim could be experiencing homelessness.
