BPD states that the Winco public restroom stabbing that occurred on December 21st was the result of a failed robbery attempt. Women are often taught to be cautious when out in public, but just a quick reminder to the men out there to also be aware of your surroundings, especially when using urinals in public restrooms. You’re never more vulnerable to attack than when your back is turned, your pants are unzipped and your privates are out.

Once a knife is pressed to your throat, there is little defense you can take without extreme life-threatening risk. Remember to Stay Calm, Speak/Move Calmly, Toss demanded item(s) AWAY from yourself. Then once the attacker steps away to retrieve items, run for safety/help in the opposite direction. Your wallet, phone, cards, etc are not worth dying over. Please stay safe out there, Boise!
