[UPDATED] Police: Man In Critical Condition After Citgo Stabbing

UPDATE at 8:45 p.m.

The following is an update on the incident from the North Haven Police Department.

Investigators learned that shortly after 10:00 p.m. on February 3, 2014 a white male entered the store holding what was described as a large, fixed blade, hunting knife.  

The store employee and the suspect began to fight just inside of the main entry doors.  

The employee sustained a stab wound to the back of his neck, and the suspect fled.  

The suspect is described as a white male approximately 5’8’’ tall and a medium build.  

He was wearing a black ski mask, black gloves, a black hooded sweatshirt, and blue jeans.

According to North Haven Police, just after midnight on Tuesday, officers responded to the Citco Convenience Store at 490 Washington Avenue for a reported stabbing. 

First responders found the store’s lone employee sustained a single knife wound to the back of his neck.  

He was transported to an area hospital and is currently in stable condition.

Victim Found by Wife

"The store employee’s wife became nervous when her husband did not return home from the Citco Convenience Store where he has been employed for about one month," North Haven Police Lt. Kevin Glenn stated in a press release.  

After several failed attempts to contact him on his cellular phone she decided to drive to the store to check on him.  

Shortly after midnight the woman found her husband inside of the store where he had been stabbed near the base of his skull and was bleeding severely.

This incident took place only two days after a masked man entered the same store with a knife demanding money.
