SOUTHAVEN, Miss. — A man is recovering from a punctured lung, after being stabbed several times with a hair pick during a robbery at Tanger Outlets last Monday.

Southaven Poice said the victim was inside the Guess store with his wife when a man began stabbing him and ripped a shopping bag containing a Coach purse and wallet out of his hand.

Police said the suspect also knocked over a baby stroller with a baby inside as he ran out of the store, but the baby was not hurt. Witnesses said several men also tackled him, but he managed to escape.

Officers who responded to a disturbance call at the outdoor mall saw 23-year-old Darrell Devante Martin running from the shopping center toward a church across the street. Investigators said Martin was eventually captured near the middle entrance of Tanger, and he was identified by his uncle, who was also on the scene.

The victim was driven by private vehicle to Baptist Hospital in West Memphis, Arkansas, where he was treated for multiple wounds to his right hand and body and a punctured lung.
