Crystal KobzaHOUSTON (KTRK) -- The search is on for a man who stabbed an elderly couple in their garage in northwest Harris County last night. It happened around 9:15pm at a home on Walters and Brimwood. Harris County sheriff's deputies say the couple had pulled into their garage and were unloading groceries when a man jumped them and stabbed them both.
Deputies say the husband, who's in his 70s, was stabbed multiple times and was last listed in critical condition. The wife, who's in her 60s, was cut multiple times and is said to be stable, but very traumatized over what happened.
The couple was taken to Ben Taub Hospital for treatment.
As for the suspect, deputies have few leads.
"At this time, the only thing we have is that it's a black male. It's the only description we have at this point," said Sgt. Greg Pinkins with the Harris County Sheriff's Office. "We're still trying to locate possible witnesses that may have seen something."
Deputies added the couple are Asian and because of the language barrier, they had a hard time getting more information.
According to the couple's neighbors, they just moved into this home about six months ago and were in the process of remodeling. Detectives say they're looking into who was in the home recently doing work. They believe there could be some connection there.
At this point, authorities believe the motive was robbery.
If you have any information, you're being asked to call Crime Stoppers.
