The victim was taken to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas in stable condition.

Meanwhile, says Parrish, the suspect, whose name has not been released, ?called the Mesquite Police Department and drove to the station to speak with officers.? He has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
