Charleston, WV (CNN) – A man accused of stabbing several people in Charleston on Wednesday is in custody.
According to police, 37-year-old Percy Woody faces charges in connection with the stabbings.
Police say Woody was employed at a local McDonald’s, where he allegedly injured two co-workers and a customer with a sharp object before leaving the scene.
Authorities report he then allegedly stabbed a fourth person outside a nearby home, injuring himself in the process before police took him into custody.
During a news conference, police announced Woody had previous malicious wounding charges.
In 2018, he reportedly stabbed a man multiple times, and in 2019, authorities charged him with injuring a man with a box cutter.
A court sentenced Woody in 2020 to up to three years in prison with credit for time served.
Police state all of the victims from Wednesday’s incident have non-life-threatening injuries and will likely make a full recovery.
