A woman is in critical but stable condition after a stabbing in Zapata, according to the information provided about the incident. Authorities took an adult man into custody at the scene. The Zapata County Sheriff’s Office has said there is no ongoing threat to the public while the case remains under active investigation.

The sheriff’s office’s assessment that there is no ongoing threat is the only public-safety detail included in the account. Officials have not provided further information about the investigation in the material available, and the case remains active.
