LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — A Crestwood man is charged with attempted murder after police say he stabbed a woman several times in the parking lot of the Walmart in La Grange on Wednesday afternoon. 

Officers with the La Grange Police Department, the Oldham County Police Department and the Oldham County Sherriff's Office responded around 1:35 p.m. Wednesday to the Walmart at 1015 New Moody Lane on the report of a stabbing, according to the news release. Before officers arrived at the scene, police said a male suspect fled the area and led officers on a short pursuit to Commerce Parkway.  

Police used stop sticks on the fleeing suspect, whose car crashed into an Oldham County Police vehicle and an Oldham County Police officer, who suffered minor injuries, La Grange Police Chief Greg Collett said in the news release. Holland was then taken into custody. 

Thomas Holland, 57, is now facing 11 charges, including attempted murder, first-degree fleeing or evading police, two counts of first-degree wanton endangerment, second-degree assault on a police officer, first-degree criminal mischief, tampering with physical evidence, first-degree stalking, first-degree assault, reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 

Police said the woman was transported to University of Louisville Hospital to be treated for her injuries, and her condition is unknown. Holland was also transported to University of Louisville Hospital to be treated for "self-inflicted injuries," according to the news release. 

A police investigation determined that Holland and the woman know each other, but their relationship remains under investigation. 

Holland is being held in the Oldham County Detention Center on a $250,000 cash bond.  Anyone who has information is asked to contact the La Grange Police Department at 502-225-0444.
