A man stabbed his wife several times while they were discussing their separation and the custody of their child in a Santee Olive Garden parking lot Tuesday.

The victim was stabbed once in the neck, once in the hand and twice in the torso, according to the report. Haddix fled the scene before emergency assistance arrived.
The victim gave a description of her husband and his car to authorities while at the hopital, which helped them locate him at a friend’s home.
