CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — CCPD has arrested 39-year-old Abel Cantu for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. This occurred the same day the stabbing took place.

Officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department responded to a call for a family dispute around 5:00 a.m. on Monday Apr. 4 at the Saratoga Cove Apartments.

Lt. Paul Janko with CCPD confirmed that officers found one victim with a stab wound.

"It's safe to say it was a family violence disturbance," said Lt. Janko, "And then they got in a disagreement, and one stabbed the other with a knife."

The victim was quickly transported to a local hospital. Officials say his injuries, fortunately, weren't major.
