2 people have been arrested in connection with a knife attack at the Anderson gas station

ANDERSON, Ind. – Two men were arrested in connection with a stabbing attack Tuesday afternoon at an Anderson gas station.

According to an update from the Anderson Police Department, 29-year-old Jacob McIntyre and 22-year-old Travis Zapf were arrested Wednesday following the reported stabbing.

On Tuesday afternoon, Anderson police responded to a gas station on Meridian Street in reference to a stabbing. When officers arrived on scene, they found a 36-year-old man who had reportedly been stabbed sitting in a vehicle near the intersection of 19th and Jackson streets.

Anderson police said in an update that the 36-year-old man drove into the gas station parking lot and was reportedly followed by a white SUV that blocked him.

As he sat in the car, the report said, the man was approached by a man armed with a pistol and a knife. The press release states that an argument then broke out and the 36-year-old was stabbed multiple times. The white SUV reportedly fled the scene before police arrived.

Following the incident, the 36-year-old man was taken to an Indianapolis hospital and “remains in serious condition.”

On Wednesday, department investigators located both McIntyre and Zapf at a home in Daleville. Officials said both men were taken into custody without incident.

The news release said the incident remains under investigation. The Madison County District Attorney’s Office has requested a 72-hour extension of the arraignment. If anyone has further information about the incident, they are asked to call the department at (765) 648-6750.
