SAN ANTONIO – One man is in the hospital and another man has been arrested after an altercation turned into a stabbing early Tuesday morning, according to San Antonio police.
Officers were called around 2:20 a.m. to the 300 block of Tulipan Walk Street, not far from San Fernando Street and Lanier High School after receiving word of a person wounded.
According to police, two neighbors, a man in his 30s and a man in his 40s, were drinking in front of their apartments when an argument happened and one of the men stabbed the other several times in his chest and left arm. That’s when, police say, the suspect with the knife ran back to an apartment.
The victim was taken by ambulance to University Hospital, where at last check, he was listed in “serious” condition.
SAPD set up a perimeter around the apartment and attempted to communicate with the suspect. Officers later saw the suspect several buildings away and were able to apprehend him without incident, police said.
The man arrested has not been identified.
The San Antonio Police Department, the San Antonio Fire Department and EMS all responded to the call.
Authorities did not say exactly what the argument was about.
