One man stabbed, another arrested after fight at a Valley parking lot, police say
A man was stabbed at a Walmart parking lot in Madera on Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The stabbing happened at 1:30 p.m., in the 1900 block on West Cleveland Avenue after an altercation, Lt. Josiah Arnold said.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive.
Arnold said a suspect was arrested a short distance from the crime scene, but the person’s identity was not immediately available.
“I don’t believe these two people knew each other,” Arnold said. “I think it was a matter of something spilled there. They ran into each other, not physically, but they ran into each other in the parking lot, starting ... a verbal argument that escalated.”
