Riverbank Police Services detectives arrested a Gilroy man suspected of stabbing a man multiple times at a Riverbank gas station in January.

The assault occurred at the Shell Gas Station at 3103 Atchison Road on Jan. 14. The 24-year-old victim sustained stab wounds to his upper body, said Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Sgt. Anthony Bejaran.

The victim was treated at a local hospital and survived his injuries.

Martinez was booked Thursday into the Stanislaus County Jail on charges of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon and an unrelated warrant for driving on a suspended license.
