Kansas Man Charged in Carver Co Stabbing

CARVER, Minn. (FOX 9) – A Kansas man is facing charges for stabbing a 17-year-old employee inside the Fleet Farm store in Carver Sunday.

Thirty-one-year-old Gerald Dwayne Hudson was charged Tuesday with first-degree assault causing great bodily harm and second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged role in the stabbing.

The complaint says the incident was captured on surveillance video, and shows a man heading into the store just after 2 p.m. and walking past the employee in an aisle, before looking both ways and walking back to her and making a striking motion. The girl then grabbed the back of her neck, and a customer reported hearing her scream loudly “he just stabbed me.”

The victim was taken to HCMC and was listed in stable condition.
