The Seattle police are reminding people not to play with scissors, especially not while drinking.
A fight between a pair of neighbors led to an arrest of one of the men early Thursday morning after he allegedly stabbed the other neighbor in the chin with a pair of scissors.
Police responded to the Wintonia Apartments around 5:40 a.m. after the report of the stabbing.
The 41-year-old intoxicated victim met the officers in the lobby. He told officers he’d been drinking with his neighbor when an argument broke out and the other neighbor grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed him.
Officers took the suspect, a 67-year-old man into custody. He was booked into King County Jail for assault, and also an outstanding theft warrant. Police also recovered the scissors.
The chin stab wound sustained by the 41-year-old was not considered life-threatening.
