A man was stabbed and slashed as he was checking out at an H-E-B grocery store, Texas police say.

The stabbing occurred around 1:40 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23, at an H-E-B in San Antonio, where the 30-year-old victim was completing his purchase at a self-checkout kiosk, according to San Antonio police.

The male suspect, whose description was not given, sprinted out of the store after the incident, police said.
