A 27-year-old former University of Nebraska baseball player has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a pregnant woman at a drive-through ATM in San Diego over the weekend.

Cole Klemke, who appeared in 17 games for the Huskers in 2016, stabbed the 25-year-old victim three times in the neck, left shoulder and chin, according to SDPD Detective Sergeant Eric Drilling.

'This was a random, unprovoked stabbing,' Drilling said, as quoted by Fox 5 San Diego.


Klemke is being held on an attempted murder charge and his arraignment is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. He's listed as a resident of Carmel Valley, but is now homeless, police told Fox 5.

The victim, who has not been identified publicly, fought back and witnesses also ran over to help, according to police. She is said to be recovering at home after what could have been a much more serious situation.

'She's a fighter, she's resilient,' Drilling said. 

'Fortunately in this case her carotid [artery] was not severed, however the doctor noted that it was close. This could have been a much worse attack if not for her resilience and ability to fight off the attacker.'

The stabbing occurred Saturday morning in a busy shopping center, where Klemke is believed to have visited a Target before the alleged attack. 

Police say he was identified using surveillance footage. Tips soon began pouring in and by Sunday, Klemke was named as a suspect and ultimately arrested.

Klemke has been arrested several times before, too.

Most recently, he was picked up for methamphetamine possession, carjacking, resisting arrest and possession of a switchblade on June 1, according to arrest records obtained by CBS8.com. 

Klemke was accused of scratching up the hood of a car and demanding that the driver surrender the vehicle, but the driver refused. 

The San Diego District Attorney's Office declined to press charges.

'We can only file charges when we believe we can prove them beyond a reasonable doubt, which is our ethical standard,' an office spokesperson told CBS8.com when asked for further comment.

Nebraska's athletic department has confirmed Klemke's time with the program, but did not offer further comment.

He was ranked as the No. 215 shortstop prospect in the country, according to Nebraska's website. However, he appears to have moved to the outfield after arriving in Lincoln.
