Man suffers knife wound after intervening in dispute

A man was wounded early Saturday morning after intervening in a possible domestic dispute on the 700 block of University Avenue and arrived at a local hospital shortly after, according to a police report.

The unidentified victim was walking when he saw a man and woman arguing, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain reported.

According to the report, the victim stepped between the couple to prevent the argument from escalating when a second man, who appeared to be with the couple, pulled out a knife.

The suspect, a 6-foot-5 black male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, “slashed” the knife at the victim, which resulted in a small cut near his eye that did not require stitches, DeSpain said in the report.

The victim arrived at a local hospital at approximately 4 a.m. Saturday, according to the police report. The suspect has not yet been identified and is wanted for a weapons violation.
