Two people were stabbed and severely injured in separate San Jose attacks Thursday afternoon by the same person who also stole the vehicle of one of the victims.
San Jose Police said the first two stabbing attacks occurred minutes apart in the southwestern portion of the city. The first scene was at Kooser Road and Dellwood Way near Blossom Hill Road in the city's Pepper Tree neighborhood. Officers responded at about 3:11 p.m. and found one victim stabbed with life-threatening injuries.
