EPHRATA - A Quincy man who was arrested and charged with robbing a man at gunpoint received at least two stab wounds when the victim fought back.
In August, Eliseo Corona Guerra, 30, allegedly pulled a gun on a man in a recreational vehicle shortly after the victim and a woman smoked methamphetamine, according to the police report.
After Corona Guerra told the victim he was going to kill him, the victim told him "to put the gun down and fight like men," according to the police report.
After a few seconds of fighting Corona Guerra again pulled out a gun and a pocket knife, according to police reports.
While wreslting with the victim, Corona Guerra allegedly rolled over on his own knife, resulting in two puncture wounds, according to police.
The victim was able to run from the RV and hide behind a couch in a nearby house, according to police. The victim said he did not know Corona Guerra.
He went to police the next morning to report the assault. He said Corona Guerra stole his phones, watch and wallet.
The incident began when a woman called the victim to the RV to use drugs. Shortly after he arrived, Corona Guerra showed up and the woman fled, according to police.
She said she did not call 9-1-1 because she did not have a phone with her.
