Sunnyside police still are searching for a 29-year-old man accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend with a knife.

Manuel Angel Torres is wanted for attempted murder, police said.

Torres and the victim, a 25-year-old Yakima woman, have a 2-year-old child together, said Charlotte Hinderlider, Sunnyside police spokeswoman.

There has been a history of escalating domestic violence by Torres against the victim, she said.

The victim was assaulted with a knife in the 1000 block of Tacoma Avenue in Sunnyside just after 6 p.m. Sunday and managed to drive herself to the hospital.

As of Monday, she was listed in stable condition, Hinderlider said.

Torres is 5-foot-8, 136 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information about Torres' whereabouts can call Sunnyside police at 509-836-6200.
