Erie police are preparing an arrest warrant for a 30-year-old white male they believe is responsible for a stabbing incident that occurred during a fight late Friday afternoon.

Cmdr. K. Stewart said the assault occurred at 5:55 p.m. in the 400 block of Young Court, which she described as an industrial area in Erie.

The victim in the case, she said, was a 54-year-old man who was treated at the scene for a stab wound to the leg. He told police he will seek additional treatment.

Stewart said there were witnesses to the incident, and that the victim, and his assailant are acquaintances. Police are not releasing the suspect's name at this time, and he remains at large.
