Site SearchFayetteville, N.C. — Police charged the husband of the victim of an attempted stabbing after he hit the suspect with his vehicle.
A female customer was smoking a cigarette outside Primo's Pizza on Yadkin Road around 10 p.m. Police said Aaron McLeod attempted to rob and stab her, but she managed to break free and run inside the restaurant.
McLeod ran away from the scene down Horseshoe Road, and the victim's husband, Stanton Moretti Jr., got in his vehicle to pursue him.
Moretti then struck McLeod with his vehicle, police said.
McLeod was transported to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he underwent surgery. He was listed in critical condition Saturday afternoon.
Moretti faces one charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
No word was immediately available on whether McLeod will be charged.

"critical but stable" conditions are frequently reported, likely due to the fact that the word "critical" in mainstream usage is often used to denote a condition that is severe but not necessarily immediately life-threatening (provided that the patient is under professional care).
The suspect could have recieved a concussion and be in critical condition. All I am saying is there is not enough info here to make a decision on how much force could be used.

Hit with the door? Critical condition? What planet did you fall off of?
