Watsonville police took Kelvin Hernandez into custody after workers from the facility, on the 500 block of Auto Center Drive, reported the injury assault shortly after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
According to a department social media post and arrest logs, Hernandez allegedly was visiting the nursing home when he stabbed the staff member in the shoulder using a pocket knife, an “unprovoked attack,” police said. Officers later located Hernandez with a knife.
The injured nursing home worker suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene, according to the department’s post.
Hernandez, of Watsonville, remained held Thursday without bail on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon.
Shortly before the stabbing call, Watsonville police were out responding to a report of believed military ordnance found at a Westgate Drive storage unit. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad safely removed and disposed of a large 40 mm round, according to police.
