Parties on Saturday night and early Sunday in unincorporated Denton County left several people injured from altercations.
Deputies responded to the 5000 block of U.S. Highway 377 in the Krugerville area early Sunday to reports of stabbings.
They found two people with non-life-threatening stab wounds and a woman who had been beaten. They said they were sitting outside a mobile home when a car pulled into the community and a male passenger began shouting racial slurs.
One of the victims and the man began fighting. The man ran to a nearby trailer and grabbed a knife. He returned and stabbed one of the men and hit the woman when she tried to intervene, the report states.
Then another man tried to stop the fight and was stabbed as well, the report states. One victim suffered wounds in his left bicep and left shoulder and was taken to a hospital emergency room.
The second victim suffered a knife wound in his right bicep but refused medical treatment, according to the sheriff’s report.
The property manager said she heard there was a fight and went outside to investigate. She saw the suspect running naked toward the group yelling that he was going to stab someone, she said. She went inside and hid in a closet.
The suspect left in a car with another man before deputies arrived. They found the car in another mobile home park.
The suspect wasn’t there, but the driver said the suspect came running back to the car, saying someone was going to kill him and then someone stuck the barrel of an AR-15 rifle in the car window as they were leaving. He said the suspect had been using drugs. A search continues for the suspect.
