Police Release Photos of Suspect in Stabbing of Pregnant Woman at ATM in Mira Mesa

A 25-year-old woman four months’ pregnant was stabbed multiple times while standing outside her vehicle at a drive-thru ATM in San Diego Saturday.

The assault occurred around 9:55 a.m. Saturday at 8251 Mira Mesa Boulevard at a Target shopping center in the Mira Mesa neighborhood, according to the San Diego Police Department.

“A male suspect approached the victim and slashed her in the upper body. The suspect pushed the victim to the ground and proceeded to slash her two additional times in the upper body,” the department reported.

The woman sustained deep cuts to her neck, left shoulder and chin, and was taken by ambulance to local hospital to be treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening injuries. She was later released from the hospital, according to the department.

Police described the suspect as a white man in his late 20s to mid 30s, an inch or two above 6 feet, 190 to 200 pounds, brown eyes, short curly or wavy brown hair. He was wearing blue, pink and green tie-dyed spandex pants, a gray Nike jacket and had a light-colored blanket wrapped around himself.

The suspect fled the scene after bystanders came to the victim’s aid. He made no statements or demands prior to or during the attack, and no property was taken, police said. His motive was unclear.

Anyone with information about the crime was urged to call the San Diego Police Department’s Northeastern Division at 858-538-8026 or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
