A juvenile suspect is detained after a stabbing at a Hilton Head convenience store
A person was stabbed Saturday evening at a gas station on Hilton Head Island, according to sheriff’s deputies.
Deputies responded to a call about a stabbing victim at Hilton Head Hospital at 7:45 p.m. Saturday, according to a press release from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office. The incident took place approximately 20 minutes earlier inside a Circle K gas station and convenience store on Lagoon Road.
A suspect fled the gas station in a brown Cadillac after the stabbing, according to the sheriff’s office. The suspect and victim were acquaintances, according to sheriff’s office spokesperson Maj. Bob Bromage.
The suspect’s name was not mentioned in the press release because he is a minor. He was found later, lying down inside the Cadillac in the parking lot of a nearby restaurant, Bromage said.
He was detained by police and taken to the Beaufort County Detention Center, where he awaits a bond hearing. The suspect has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon in the commission of a violent crime.
The victim was treated at the hospital and later released, according to Bromage.
