A driver apparently irate that someone hit his vehicle with an egg is now charged with attempted murder.
It happened late last night on Highway 24 near the Brandywine subdivision in Carteret County.
Deputies say Francisco Hernandez of Somerville, Massachusetts was driving a Ryder rental truck that was hit by an egg. According to authorities, Hernandez stopped his truck and stabbed Joshua Lambert as well as punching him in the face.
The 21-year-old victim was stabbed once in the upper torso and once in the leg.
Deputies say a passenger in the moving truck pulled Hernandez off the victim and forced him back to the truck. The truck was later stopped on Highway 24 by Cape Carteret police.
Hernandez, who was working for a moving company here in North Carolina, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury. He's in the Carteret County jail on a $100,000 bond.

I cannot believe some of the responses here. Take a look in the mirror. Everyone, and I mean everyone has done some mischieve in their life. if getting seriously injured for such actions is just punishment, then 50% or more of these idoitc responses wouldn;t be here, becuase you all may be the victim. hernandez needs to go to jail for a long time. it could have been your wife or daughter that simply cut his Ryder truck off and they are now the victim. Think people, think..this type of anger is not acceptable..period.

First of yall besides someone close to home, dont write things if you dont have any idea what you are talking about. Im friends with the Lambert guy and he didnt throw an egg. it was wrong place at wrong time, josh attends nc state and has a better head on his shoulders to throw an egg at a truck. This herandez is a worthless person who needs to sit in jail and rot and then get sent back to his country and rot there. He needs to know you cant stabb someone over an egg. Especially when he didnt know he did it. If the passenger in the truck reads this thank you for stopping him from killing one of my best friends. Dont write about stuff you dont know anything about, to all the people on this comment board

You can't believe everything you read and you can't believe everything you see on TV, were you in the victims shoes? And do you know for sure that he was even the one throwing the eggs? Perhaps he just showed up at the wrong place at the wrong time. I have faith that it will work out the way it is suppose to, you should too.
