COALVILLE, Summit County, April 21, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — A 62-year-old man from Magna, who was stabbed in the neck by a stranger in a convenience store in Coalville, has been upgraded from critical to serious but stable condition.
That’s the update from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, which says the suspect, 45-year-old Charles Ryan Hendricks, will be charged with attempted murder after stabbing the victim “in an unprovoked attack.”
“The motive of the attack is unknown at this time,” the SCSO statement says. “Several witnesses to the incident aided the 62-year-old man, while others physically detained the suspect until law enforcement arrived.”
“There’s not a lot of reason or motive behind it,” Wright said.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was transported in critical condition to Evanston Regional Hospital, Wright said, then flown to a hospital in the Salt Lake City area.
