Travis Armstrong was shopping at the time of the stabbing and said his 15-year-old daughter, Ava, was waiting for him in the car outside, parked next to the suspect's vehicle.

The criminal complaint filed Tuesday showed 31-year-old Gerald Hudson was charged with first- and second-degree assault, for the attack that left the 17-year-old employee with a 2- to 3-inch laceration to the back of her neck. Court documents said the alleged assault occurred inside the company's Carver location just after 2 p.m. Sunday.
