Authorities in Austin, Texas, have taken a 20-year-old into custody following a double stabbing at a local venue, according to Fox News and the New York Post. Both outlets reported that the assailant was disguised in zombie face makeup when the violence erupted inside a coffeehouse.
According to Fox News, the altercation occurred Wednesday night at The Buzz Mill just prior to a scheduled comedy show. Police identified the suspect as Shankar Temple Grace, who reportedly fled the premises in a pickup truck and struck an unoccupied driverless vehicle before officers found him on a trail roughly three miles away.
Fox News also reported that emergency crews transported both victims to a hospital in stable condition, despite one initially suffering life-threatening harm. Grace was booked into the county jail on two felony counts of aggravated assault using a deadly weapon.
