The victim sustained a puncture wound to his lower back and was transported to IU Health hospital.
It was reported that prior to the stabbing, a physical altercation took place in the parking lot between the two men when the older man came to the aid of the victim's girlfriend, who was being verbally abused by the alleged victim. It was reported that there were witnesses.
