SEBASTOPOL -- A 32-year-old Rohnert Park man was stabbed at a Sebastopol flea market Sunday after he gave a panhandler a dollar, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office.

The victim attended the Midgley's Country Flea Market at 2200 Gravenstein Highway South with his family, drove them home to Rohnert Park and then returned to the flea market alone around 4 p.m., sheriff's officials said.

The victim was standing near his truck in the west corner of the main parking lot when a man approached him from a field and asked for a dollar. As the victim opened his wallet, the man hit him in the head with a blunt object and stabbed him in the arm and stomach, sheriff's officials said.

The suspect fled with the wallet to the field and the injured man was treated at a hospital for injuries that are not life-threatening.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic man in his 20s or 30s who is about 5 feet 4 inches tall with a goatee, mustache and slicked-back hair.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and black baggy pants.
