Man charged with aggravated assault with deadly weapon after alleged stabbing incident at Kerrville Subway restaurant

On Friday, January 15, at about 8:15 p.m., officers responded to a call regarding a physical altercation at a Subway restaurant in which one of the alleged individuals reportedly was brandishing a knife.

Kerrville Police arrived at Subway located at 207 Sidney Baker S., in Kerrville and learned that two suspects had been involved in a physical altercation inside of the restaurant.

Bystanders say that most of the patrons fled the scene when the altercation ensued and one individual is said to have attempted to break up the ongoing dispute.

KPD reports that Patrick Patton and Christopher Saldana were fighting when Patton allegedly pulled a knife and began to stab Saldana.

The bystander, who is a concealed carry holder, retrieved a pistol from his car and was eventually able to hold Patton at gun point until officers arrived on scene.

Saldana was stabbed at least three times and was flown to University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Patton was arrested for Aggravated Assault, a first degree felony.

The Kerrville Police Department would like to thank the citizen for his heroic actions to stop the assault.
