Man Arrested After Stabbing Woman in Back at Holdrege Store

holdrege-policeHOLDREGE, Neb. (AP) — Police have arrested a man accused of stabbing a woman at a grocery store in Holdrege.

Officers who were sent to the Sun Mart Foods a little before 3 p.m. Thursday found a 49-year-old Beaver City woman who’d been stabbed in the back. She was taken to a hospital for treatment and soon released.

The 27-year-old suspected of assailing her was later found at a Mosaic facility and taken to the Phelps County Jail, where he was booked on suspicion of theft, assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony. He has not yet been charged. Mosaic is a faith-based organization that treats people who have intellectual disabilities.

Holdrege police say the attack appears to be random because the man and woman apparently are not acquainted.
