PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — A man stabbed his ex-girlfriend multiple times while she was sitting in her car in a Walmart parking lot, police said.

The stabbing occurred about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday as the victim was on her break in the parking lot of the Walmart on Southwest Gatlin Boulevard.

The victim then ran inside the Walmart liquor store for help. She was taken to a hospital to be treated for her stab wounds but was expected to survive.
