(BCN) — A Fort Bragg man and a woman were stabbed by the woman’s son during a family argument on Thursday evening, according to police.
The stabbing was reported at 11:04 p.m. Thursday by a citizen who flagged down an officer at Safeway, according to the Fort Bragg Police Department. The citizen told police that the woman who was stabbed was his neighbor, and that he saw both the woman and the man transported to a hospital.
The woman was transferred from the Adventist Health Mendocino Coast hospital to a trauma center. The hospital is unable to provide further information about either of the victims.
When officers arrived at Adventist Health Mendocino Coast, they spoke with the two victims, who initially denied the stabbing and said they had been in an ATV accident. After officers noted inconsistencies in their story, the man changed his statement and said both he and the woman had been stabbed by her son, Danynes Cox-Pabo, 32, of Fort Bragg.
