A 61-year-old man was robbed and stabbed early Wednesday morning as he sat in his pickup truck in the parking lot of an El Cajon grocery story.

The victim told police he was approached by a man carrying a gun as he was parked in front of the Food 4 Less store on Broadway near Ballantyne Street around 1:30 a.m., said police Lt. Mike Moulton.

The gunman demanded the victim’s wallet and a female assailant stabbed him.

The two made off with the man’s cell phone and keys and were last seen driving away in a white vehicle, Moulton said.


The injured man was taken to the hospital in stable condition. ‘
