Suspect apprehended in Robbinsdale charged with carjacking, stabbing

A 31-year-old Nebraska man was charged with one count of attempted murder in the first-degree and carjacking with a dangerous weapon following a string of incidents that included the stabbing of a man at a Bloomington gas station.

Nathan Sughroue was charged June 18 in Hennepin County District Court, two days after an incident at a gas station near the intersection of 98th Street West and Normandale Boulevard, according to Bloomington Deputy Chief Kim Clauson.

Sughroue reportedly arrived at the gas station shortly after 1 p.m. June 16, in a vehicle that was stolen during a carjacking in Shakopee. He allegedly engaged the victim at the gas pumps and stabbed him in the neck, chest, abdomen and liver, according to Clauson.

After stabbing the victim, Sughroue took the victim’s Nissan Murano and drove to Robbinsdale. Minutes after fleeing Bloomington he was involved in an accident on northbound Highway 100, south of 42nd Avenue, and fled the scene. He was found by Robbinsdale Police and Minnesota State Patrol officers standing in the bushes near a barrier wall of the highway and he was taken into custody, Clauson noted.

He is being held at the Hennepin County Adult Detention Center with a bail of $1 million, she added.

“You can't carjack people and stab them and expect to get away with it in the city of Bloomington,” Police Chief Booker Hodges said.
