‼️ For immediate release ‼️ Felonious Assault (Sbarro Restaurant)
On Sunday, August 30th, 2026, at approximately 12:30 pm, personnel from the Auburn Hills Police Department and Fire Department were dispatched to the Sbarro Restaurant, located inside the Great Lakes Crossing Outlets at 4000 Baldwin Road, in response to 911 calls reporting that two male employees were fighting in the back room. It was reported that one of the males was stabbed with a knife.
Prior to officers' arrival on scene, the suspect fled the mall. Officers interviewed the victim and identified the suspect. The suspect was identified as an 18-year-old male who resides in the City of Pontiac. A request was made for the Oakland County Sheriff's Office to respond to the suspect's address in Pontiac. The suspect was located and safely taken into custody.
The Fire Department transported the 18-year-old male victim to a local hospital, where it was determined that he sustained non-life-threatening injuries from the stabbing. The incident stemmed from an ongoing disagreement between the victim and the suspect. It occurred in the restaurant's back room. No other injuries or parties were involved in the incident.
The case has been presented to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office for charges. The suspect remains in custody at the Oakland County Jail.
