Authorities in Santa Rosa, California are investigating a stabbing that occurred on Wednesday afternoon, reports KPIX. 
The 21-year-old victim was at a movie theater watching the horror film "The Shallows" when someone came from behind and lunged a butcher knife into his lung, throat, and arm. 
Several fellow moviegoers dialed 911 while others rushed to help. 
The victim was conscious when he was taken to an area hospital, but his injuries are considered life threatening, notes The Press Democrat. 
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, police have a suspect in custody, but confirming his identity has proven difficult. 
While the alleged attacker provided authorities with a name, he was without an ID. Other means of verification have been unsuccessful, reports The Press Democrat. 
Detectives say the person they are holding may also be responsible for a fatal stabbing that occurred earlier in the week.
