“The victim told officers that he was in the parking lot working on his vehicle when his former roommate…stabbed him in the back with the file for no apparent reason,” police said. “The victim was transported to Stanford Hospital with life-threatening injuries.”
Officers located the suspect, identified as 25-year-old Geiman Oswaldo Alvarado Lima, a short time in the 500 block of Redwood Avenue. He was booked into the San Mateo County Jail for attempted murder, police said.
