HOUSTON – A car salesman was stabbed at a dealership, and police said his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend was his attacker.
Houston police said a man kidnapped his ex-girlfriend from the Houston Community College's Spring Branch campus about 5 p.m. Monday and forced her, at gunpoint, to call her current boyfriend, who is a salesman at Gilman Honda in the 10500 block of the West Sam Houston Parkway.

The man and his ex-girlfriend went to the dealership. The man hid while his ex-girlfriend met her boyfriend in his car in the parking lot, investigators said.

The car salesman drove to a car wash bay at the dealership and ran for help, officials said. Employees at the dealership called 911.
The attacker jumped into the car salesman's car and drove away with his ex-girlfriend, police said. The woman was later dropped off at an undisclosed location, officials said.
