FRESNO, Calif. -- A suspect is in custody after allegedly stabbing two people in Los Banos, then posting about it on Facebook.

Investigators say 27-year-old Irving Armand attacked two people at a bar Tuesday night before running to his apartment nearby. Both victims were flown to a Modesto hospital in unknown conditions.

Officers were able to arrest Armand a short time later and found the knife believed to be used in the attacks.

Before his arrest investigators say Armand made a Facebook post that police used to link him to the crime.
