ROANOKE, Va. – A Roanoke man is in jail after authorities say he stabbed both a woman and her father outside an ice cream shop on Thursday night.
At about 10 p.m., Roanoke police responded to a call for a stabbing outside of Blue Cow Ice Cream Company at the intersection of Piedmont Street SE and Walnut Avenue SE.
They found that a 25-year-old woman, and her father, a 61-year-old man, both of Roanoke, were stabbed several times, according to Roanoke police.
Someone else tried to help the victims by hitting 26-year-old Jordan Ornes with a chair; however, police say Ornes then left the area.

Police said Ornes had a knife at the time of his arrest.
All three people were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Ornes now faces two counts of malicious wounding.
He was taken to jail after being released from the hospital.
