Deputies say the man had been stabbed several times and was taken to Augusta University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Authorities say the incident is domestic-related.

The stabbing comes amid a surge in violent crimes across the CSRA. A few weeks ago, Richmond County started to see an increase in shootings, many of them fatal. The surge had subsided for about a week but seems to be back.

Just this week, there have been at least two shootings.

Monday around 9:30 a.m. on D’Antignac Street, a few blocks from Laney High School, one man was shot. His condition is unknown. Deputies are also investigating a shooting Sunday night at the Dogwood Terrace Apartments on Old Savannah Road.

And on Sunday, a vehicle passenger fired on deputies during a traffic chase on Tobacco Road.
