Vista Man on the Run After Allegedly Stabbing Wife, Daughter

Sheriff's deputies are searching for a man in Vista who allegedly stabbed his wife and daughter Sunday evening.

The 55-year-old man stabbed his wife in the back around 7:50 p.m. in the 1000 block of Corvalla Drive, San Diego sheriff's Lt. Amber Baggs said.

Deputies were responding to a domestic violence call, she said.

The wife was badly hurt with possible life-threatening injuries, the lieutenant said. She was transported to Palomar Medical Center. The daughter was also transported to the hospital but it was unclear if she was sent to the same hospital, Baggs said. 

The husband fled the scene armed with a knife. He has no shirt on and was wearing brown shorts, deputies said.

A sheriff's helicopter was circling around the neighborhood searching for the man. 

It was unclear what led up to the stabbing, Baggs said. 

The man was still at large as of 11 p.m. Sunday.

Anyone who may have seen the man was urged to call 911.
