Battle Ground police responded to a reported stabbing at the Walmart on Southwest 13th Avenue Monday afternoon.
The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. Both parties, who have not yet been identified, were transported to different hospitals, said Bonnie Gilberti, public information officer for the Battle Ground Police Department.
“I can confirm there was an incident at the Walmart in Battle Ground, I don’t know if it was inside or outside,” Gilberti said. “There was an assault, possibly a stabbing. The suspect and victim, it appears that they knew each other, so there’s no threat to the public.”
The extent of the two people’s injuries was unknown as of press time.
A manager at the Battle Ground Walmart declined to comment on the incident, and referred The Columbian to Walmart’s corporate media line. A spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment Monday evening.
