90-year-old man suspected of stabbing wife

ENCINITAS, Calif. — Sheriff’s deputies last week arrested a 90-year-old man suspected of stabbing his wife in Encinitas.

Around 7 p.m. Thursday, deputies went to the 1000 block of C Street after receiving a call from a neighbor about an injured woman who had come to their door, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department said.

Deputies say a husband and wife were having an argument that turned physical. That’s when the husband used a knife to stab his wife, authorities said.
