SAN ANTONIO — A 12-year-old was rushed to a hospital Friday night after being stabbed by his younger brother, police say.
Officers were called out to the 8600 block of Cape Valley Drive around 10 p.m. Friday for a stabbing.
At the scene, officers found a 12-year-old with two stab wounds to the back and several lacerations to his left forearm.
An official with SAPD said that the 12-year-old and his 9-year-old brother were fighting over a blanket with the 9-year-old picked up a large kitchen knife and attacked the 12-year-old.
The 12-year-old was rushed to University Hospital with life-threatening injuries; he was in critical condition.
As the 9-year-old is too young to criminally charge (minimum age in Texas is 10 to file criminal charges), he was taken to a nearby hospital to undergo a mental evaluation.
