BURLINGTON, N.C. — A parolee was wanted Saturday in the stabbing of a 16-year-old at a carnival in Burlington, police said.

Police said that Cameron Romero Graves, 22, stabbed 16-year-old Joshua Ryan Wilson at the carnival in the 1600 block of North Church Street around 10:30 p.m. Friday.

Wilson suffered multiple wounds and was taken to UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill. Police said his condition was stable after he underwent surgery.

Graves might be operating a burgundy Ford Taurus. His last known address was 409 Mill St. in Graham.

He faces two counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
