DALLAS, Ore. (AP) — Polk County sheriff’s deputies say they’ve arrested a man wanted in a near-fatal knife attack.

Jared Spencer’s relatives turned the 22-year-old in on Sunday morning. Sgt. Mark Garton says they brought him to the sheriff’s office against his will.

Authorities say Spencer broke into a Dallas home early Saturday morning and stabbed an acquaintance, 19-year-old Jake Michaelson, who was taken to Salem Hospital. Garton says his condition is stable and he should pull through.

Spencer was being held in the Polk County Jail for investigation of charges including attempted murder, assault and burglary. Investigators say they don’t know what motivated the attack.
