FREDERICKSBURG, VA — A man armed with a knife who attacked a woman in a bathroom stall at a Fredericksburg convenience store is facing multiple charges, including abduction and malicious wounding, according to the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded around 6:30 a.m. on Saturday for the report of a stabbing at the Wawa store at 4527 Plank Road. Investigators said Austin Wayne Wilson had fled the store before deputies arrived. The deputies determined that Wilson had arrived at the Wawa as the passenger in a vehicle.

"The investigation revealed that Wilson entered the women’s restroom, concealed himself in a stall, and then climbed over into the victim’s stall," according to the sheriff's office report. "Wilson displayed a knife, threatened the victim, and attempted to restrain her. The victim’s persistent screams forced Wilson to flee the scene."
