Turlock police respond to 3 stabbings in 2 days, incidents believed unrelated
A stabbing in Turlock on Easter Sunday left one person with life-threatening injuries, according to police.
Officers responded just after 7 p.m. to the 1600 block of Lander Avenue following reports of a stabbing. The victim was transported to a hospital and is expected to survive, the Turlock Police Department said in a Facebook post.
The suspect, who is known to the victim, is in custody in another county on an unrelated charge. Turlock police said they are working with that agency to pursue charges related to the Easter Sunday incident.
