A man stabbed at a petrol station in Easton was sent to a Fresno hospital on Sunday afternoon after being involved in an automobile accident, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they were called to a disturbance at Jack’s Gas on Lincoln and Elm Avenues just before noon.
According to reports, a group of young guys approached a man in the parking lot, sparking a physical altercation.
According to investigators, one of the people involved in the altercation pulled out a knife.
They further claim that the individual who was initially approached had minor injuries, while one of the group members experienced a critical stab wound.
The sheriff’s office claims that the group of young guys departed in a vehicle before deputies arrived at the petrol station.
A short time later, Fresno police were called to an automobile crash in front of Community Regional Medical Centre on Fresno and R streets.
They noted that the black Cadillac involved looked like the one that departed the Easton petrol station around eight miles away.
Everyone inside had been detained for questioning. Officers also discovered that one of the individuals who had previously been in the car was no longer present.
According to investigators, a passerby picked up the injured man and drove him to the hospital because he had sustained serious injuries. That man was admitted for treatment and is now classified in critical condition.
Deputies are still investigating this case and will interview everyone involved to better understand what transpired and determine whether any arrests are necessary.
Anyone with information about this case can contact the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office at 559-600-3111.
