Thompson, who was purchasing a set of kitchen knives from the store, got into a dispute with a female customer about "the speed of the checkout line," according to NJ.com. ‘At Least I Didn’t Hurt Anybody’: NY Woman Rejects White Neighbor’s Excuses After Ring Camera Captures Him Viciously Stabbing the Device with Knife Amid Two-Year Feud After the customer made her purchase and left the store with her family, Thompson bought the knife set and followed her outside to the parking lot. Thompson ”removed one from the box, then pursued the victim in the parking lot, ultimately stabbing her multiple times,” police said. Authorities found the wounded victim in bloody clothing with several stab wounds to her torso. Police determined her injuries were superficial, according to The Observer. They located Thompson “in the Marshalls’ bathroom, with a kitchen knife laying atop the baby changing station." She was detained while witness statements were taken down, then arrested after investigators determined she was the alleged stabber. She was booked into the Hudson County Jail on charges of second-degree aggravated assault, third and fourth-degree weapons offenses, and fourth-degree endangering.
