Victim suffers 'stab and slash wounds' in Salisbury assault; two suspects wanted: Police

Police are seeking two suspects in a recent assault at a Salisbury restaurant involving a knife.

Officers from the Salisbury Police Department responded to TidalHealth Peninsula Regional just after 1:40 a.m. on Feb. 12 to meet with a 27-year-old victim who had "stab and slash wounds," according to a news release.

The officers learned that minutes before the man arrived at the hospital, he was involved in an altercation at Brew River, located at 502 W. Main St. Police said the victim exchanged words with other patrons and then was punched in the face.

The man fell to the ground, according to police, and as he stood back up, realized he'd been assaulted with a knife. Friends took him to the hospital, where he was treated for injuries that were not life threatening.

Detectives were able to identify 22-year-old Altora Ware as the man who punched the victim in the face and 24-year-old Tyree Showell as the person who attacked the victim with a knife while he was on the floor.

Police said arrest warrants have been issued for both men. Ware is being charged with second-degree assault and Showell with attempted second-degree murder and first-and second-degree assault. Both suspects are still at large.

Anyone with information about the case should contact the Salisbury Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 410-548- 3165. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.
