Sioux Falls Man Accused Of Stabbing Wife and Male Acquaintance

In light of two domestic violence incidents last week in Sioux Falls, Mayor Mike Huether urges victims to seek help!

In addition to last week's incidents, police say a man is accused of stabbing his wife and her male acquaintance in a Sunday morning attack.

Officers were dispatched to the scene and found the woman with three stab wounds to her chest and stomach.

Police say the suspect was being restrained by the woman's male companion when officers arrived.  Authorities say the suspect had been waiting in a nearby car lot armed with two knives.   He allegedly came sprinting across the lot as the woman and her companion got out of a vehicle.

Police say the male acquaintance was stabbed in the shoulder but was able to restrain the attacker.

None of the injuries to the woman or her companion appeared to be life-threatening.
