Charges have now been laid following an arrest early Saturday morning after a fight resulted in a man being taken to hospital for a stab wound to his stomach.
At about 1 a.m. on Saturday, August 25th, police responded to calls that a man had been stabbed after a verbal altercation turned into a physical fight between two men outside the Anza Club at West 8th Avenue and Ontario Street.
