A female employee of an Albertsons market in Santa Monica was critically wounded Sunday by a man who stabbed her while she was working at a check-out stand, police said.
A Santa Monica Police Department spokesman said officers were looking for the victim's estranged husband, Kelvin Green, 52, as a person of interest in the investigation. Green was not identified as a suspect.
Police did not release the name of the woman, who was hospitalized with wounds to the head, neck and torso.
According to police, a man entered the store shortly before 3:30 p.m. and attacked the woman from behind, repeatedly hitting and stabbing her. He then fled the store, jumped into a car and drove south on Berkeley Street toward Wilshire Boulevard, police said.
They described the assailant as black, 6-feet-1 to 6-feet-3-inches tall, weighing at least 220 pounds and wearing a light gray sweatshirt with a hood. Police said his car was an older gold Cadillac.
They said anyone with information, including on Green's whereabouts, should call the Police Department at (310) 458-8495. Callers who wish to remain anonymous can phone the WeTip line at (800) 78-CRIME or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
