Witness: Man Stabbed Repeatedly While Working Under Car in Grier Heights

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – We’re asking investigators what provoked a stabbing in Grier Heights on Sunday afternoon.

MEDIC took the stabbing victim to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

A woman who witnessed the incident says the victim was underneath his grandfather’s car, working on repairs, when a neighbor suddenly attacked him.

It happened on Orange Street, just before 2:00 p.m.

The witness says the grandfather tried to hold the suspect back, but couldn’t.

“The guy was surprised, he said, ‘man what are you doing, what are you doing?’ And he kept stabbing at him and stabbing at him, and the guy’s struggling to get out from under the car, and while he’s struggling to get from under the car, he’s still stabbing him,” says Grier Heights resident Kimberly Albert.

Albert says she’s not sure what provoked the attack.

We’re asking police if they’ve made an arrest.
