The alleged victim is expected to recover from the stabbing.

Hunter Ryan Kluser, 20, of Eagle Mountain, has been charged with one count of attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed a man multiple times at an addiction recovery center in Wasatch County.

According to an arrest affidavit filed Friday, May 2, in 4th District Court, Kluser was a patient at the center. Wasatch County Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of a stabbing around 6:30 p.m. May 1.

The arresting officer reported surveillance video showed Kluser come up behind the alleged victim, who was sitting on a couch in a common area. Kluser allegedly stabbed the other man in the neck “at least six times.” The arresting officer said the attack came “without warning and [appeared] to be unprovoked.”

The man is expected to recover from his wounds.

Kluser is being held without bail in the Wasatch County Jail. His initial court appearance is scheduled for May 5.

A first-degree felony is punishable by five years to life in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.
