A 33-year-old man was arrested for attempted murder after allegedly ambushing and stabbing another man as the victim was leaving work Thursday evening.
Daniel Cochrane, of Wasilla, was arrested for attempted murder for stabbing the man over a “personal matter,” Alaska State Troopers said in an online dispatch Friday morning.
Shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday, Palmer-based troopers received a report that Cochrane was attacking a man outside a Wasilla school. The victim — who was stabbed multiple times — sustained life-threatening injuries, AST said. His condition was considered “critical” when AST released their dispatch at 4:21 a.m. Friday.
AST tracked down Cochrane in Palmer and detained him. He was booked at a local jail.
“Investigation revealed Daniel was angry at the victim because of a personal matter,” troopers wrote. “Daniel ambushed the victim as the victim was leaving his work.”
