A man was seriously injured in a stabbing Thursday night in the area of 1415 North Belt.

Captain Jeff Wilson with the St. Joseph Police Department said officers responded at 6:30 p.m. in reference to a report of an assault. Wilson said a delivery person was making a delivery when he was approached by a white male subject that he knew. The two engaged in a fight, the suspect left in a vehicle and the victim then realized he’d been stabbed.

He was transported to the hospital for treatment of serious but non-life threatening injuries. Wilson said the injury was described as being on the lower right side of the waist area.

Wilson said there is no suspect in custody yet but they do have a person of interest in the case.
