Man stabbed at Corning shop

Corning Police are looking for two suspects driving a black older model Honda Civic who stabbed a man three times in the Liquor Cabinet II parking lot on Hwy 99W, Friday at 4 p.m.

Brian James Jobe, 30, of Corning, told police he had pulled into the business’ parking lot and had just got out of his car when the Honda drove up, a male Hispanic got out of the car, then walked up and stabbed him three times with what appeared to be a small knife.

Jobe said the suspect got back into the front passenger seat of the Honda Civic, driven by a female, and fled the scene, according to Corning Police Detective Mel Allison.

“We don’t know the motive at this point,” said Allison.

Jobe suffered a stab wound to his upper right arm, right elbow, and a small stab wound to his abdomen. He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment.

Corning Police Sergeant Ralph Schmidt on Tuesday reported that a lone suspect has been identified as the attacker, and that witnesses to the crime have also been identified and are being sought for information.
