A man was taken to a hospital Saturday morning after he was stabbed allegedly by his girlfriend’s sister.

Fresno police Lt. Israel Reyes said officers responded just after 7:30 a.m. to a home near Wesley and Franklin avenues about the stabbing and found multiple intoxicated people.

Officers located the man, who had lacerations to his arm and leg. He was taken to a local hospital and was in stable condition.

Reyes said officers determined that the man and his girlfriend were having an argument inside of one of the bedrooms when the girlfriend’s sister forced her way into the room and allegedly stabbed the man multiple times.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

The man was also later arrested for alleged false imprisonment for not allowing his girlfriend to leave, Reyes said.
