SAN ANTONIO — An argument between two men who were drinking at an apartment complex led to one of the men being cut by the other one, police say.
It happened around 2:21 a.m. Tuesday on the 300 block of Tulipan Walk Street near San Fernando Street on the west side of town.
Police say the two men from different apartments, ages 40 and 30, were drinking and possibly intoxicated when they got into a fight. When officers arrived at the location, they found the victim laying on the ground in front of his apartment with several stab wounds to his chest and left arm.
He was taken to an area hospital in serious condition.
Witnesses told police the two men got into a fight, which led to the suspect assaulting the victim. Witnesses informed officers the the suspect ran into a nearby apartment with a knife.
Police began setting up a defensive position in the front and rear of the apartment, calling the suspect out. Officers were armed with rifles and non-lethal weapons, preparing to take the man into custody.
The standoff lasted approximately two hours until an SAPD night Captain informed media that they had intentions to dismantle the standoff since the charges and injuries were minimal.
This is an ongoing investigation.
