ELK GROVE, Calif. — An Elk Grove man was arrested Friday night after stabbing two of his relatives, according to the Elk Grove Police Department.
Officers said Eric Mauck, 24, was arrested and booked for attempted murder for stabbing a man and a woman.
The stabbing happened inside an Elk Grove home in the 9400 block of Dantley Court. Officers went to the home after receiving a call from a neighbor. The stab victims were outside of the home when officers arrived.
The man and woman were stabbed multiple times, according to Jason Jimenez, public information officer with Elk Grove PD. He said the man suffered life-threatening injuries. Both received medical attention on the scene before they were transported to a nearby hospital.
Mauck was found driving around the neighborhood when he was arrested. He was taken to the Sacramento County Main Jail.
“Once the victims are in a place where they are able to talk to our investigators, that will happen,” Jimenez said.
He said the case will then be handed over to the District Attorney’s Office.
