(KMJ) – A therapist remains in critical condition after she was stabbed repeatedly by a patient at a southwest Fresno substance abuse recovery center Monday afternoon.
Fresno Police say the 55-year-old therapist, whose name was not made public, was stabbed in the neck, upper torso and arms around 1 p.m. while working at the Comprehensive Addiction Programs Inc. facility. It is located at 2445 W. Whites Bridge Avenue. Officers say she was rushed into surgery at Community Regional Medical Center.
Investigators believe 29-year old Raymond White left a group session and walked to the victim’s office. The two spoke, then White stabbed the woman multiple times. Police aren’t sure what, if anything, caused the attack. White then left the clinic.
Police found White in some abandoned buildings a short time later.
White was on parole for grand theft and was booked on the parole violation. Fresno Police also say White will be charged with either assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder, depending on their investigation.
