When questioned, Coronado said he and his friend had stopped to ask Crenshaw for directions when he suddenly stabbed Coronado in the arm.

According to the arrest affidavit, Crenshaw stabbed Coronado twice, put the scissors back into his waistband using his foot, and quickly fled the scene.

Coronado was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center and treated for his injuries.

Crenshaw was arrested and charged with Aggravated Battery and is being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $7,500 bond.

Law enforcement officials said that Crenshaw, who is homeless, has a history of violence.
