Heavy knife attack after renewed fight – man in hospital

Argument bitter to the point of blood: two men attacked each other again, this time in danger of life.

A 31-year-old man was taken to hospital after a knife attack with severe stab wounds to his upper body. A 42-year-old alleged attacker was arrested on a warrant for attempted manslaughter on Friday and taken to a correctional facility, police said the same day.

The two men are said to have had arguments and threats several times in the past. In Thursday’s incident, the assailant was carrying a knife and baton. He also slightly injured a 22-year-old relative and companion of the victim.
