A female gas station clerk is recovering from stab wounds after being attacked at work Tuesday night.
The woman was working at USA gas station at 385 Silverado Trail when a man came into the station, apparently to buy a cup of coffee. As she walked past him to reach the cashier area, the man came up to her and without provocation began stabbing her, according to Napa police.
