A man who was stabbed inside a Redwood City grocery store over the weekend fired a gun at his attacker but missed and hit a computer monitor, authorities said.
About 11 p.m. Saturday, police responded to 911 calls about the stabbing at the Safeway store at 1071 El Camino Real in Redwood City.
When they arrived, officers found a man who had been stabbed in the abdomen and who also had several superficial wounds “consistent with an edged weapon” attack, police said in a news release Monday.
Investigators discovered that the suspect, 31-year-old Isidro Zamora-Cisneros of Redwood City, allegedly attacked the man at the self-checkout area of the store “without apparent provocation,” police said.
During the attack, a woman used a shopping cart in an effort to protect the victim, who was treated at the scene by Redwood City Fire Department personnel.
Also during the attack, the victim pulled out a gun and fired one round, which hit a computer monitor inside the store, according to police.
No one was injured by the gunfire.
After the stabbing, Zamora-Cisneros ran into the parking lot, where he was apprehended by Redwood City police.
Police are investigating whether the victim and suspect knew each other prior to the attack.
Zamora-Cisneros was booked into the San Mateo County Maguire Correctional Facility on suspicion of attempted murder, possession of methamphetamine, being under the influence of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia, police said Monday.
Anyone with information related to this case can call the Redwood City Police Department’s nonemergency line at (650) 780-7100.
