An incident at an Austin, Texas coffee shop on Wednesday night resulted in two people being stabbed. The alleged assailant, Shankar Temple Grace, 20, was reportedly dressed as a zombie.
Police responded to reports of a severe disturbance at The Buzz Mill, a coffee shop and bar, shortly before a comedy show was set to begin. Upon arrival, first responders discovered one victim with critical injuries and another with non-life-threatening wounds.
Both individuals were promptly taken to a hospital, where they were last reported to be in stable condition. Following the stabbings, Grace fled the premises in a pickup truck, ultimately crashing into an unoccupied vehicle.
Authorities initiated a search and located Grace approximately three miles from the coffee shop on a walking trail. He was subsequently arrested and booked into the Travis County Jail, facing two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
