Pinellas Park Police continue investigating an incident at the Wawa at 3101 Gandy Boulevard.
The incident occurred at approximately 10:04 p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2024, when officers were dispatched to the Wawa for a woman attacking people with a knife.
37-year-old Christina Crane of Seminole entered the Wawa and appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance and experiencing excited delirium.

Both Crane and the male victim were transported to a local hospital for medical evaluations.
