Rocky Mount police are looking for a man they say stabbed someone Saturday morning.

According to police, officers responded to an aggravated assault at Mike’s Food Mart on the 1300 block of West Raleigh Boulevard. When officers arrived, they found a 36-year-old man suffering from stab wounds across the street at the Texaco Food Mart.

The man, Terry Hussey, was taken to UNC Health Nash for treatment and is stable.

Investigators later determined Hussey had a “verbal interaction” with the suspect before the stabbing occurred.

According to police, when investigators asked Hussey for more information, Hussey said he did not know the suspect and “he would not cooperate with providing a description or assisting with an identification.”

Rocky Mount police released a photo of the suspect, captured from security footage from one of the convenience stores.

Authorities in Rocky Mount said the victim, who is stable at the hospital, was unable to assist police in identifying the suspect.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and are asking for the public’s help with identifying the suspect.
