2 hurt after stabbing outside bar in Philadelphia's Chinatown section

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A confrontation in Philadelphia's Chinatown section ended with two people stabbed.

The incident happened around 3 a.m. on Friday in the 1000 block of Arch Street.

Police say staffers at a bar booted an intoxicated customer, who allegedly became aggressive toward other patrons, including taking drinks from their tables and consuming them.

The man also allegedly began banging on the glass door with a knife once he was tossed out.

When two customers intervened, the unruly man stabbed both of them.

A 31-year-old man was stabbed in the chest and a 34-year-old man was stabbed in the left side, according to police.

One of the victims was able to disarm the man, who then took off in the 100 block of North 11th Street.

SEPTA police responded to the scene and were able to locate the man after receiving a description and he was taken into custody.

Police said they recovered a folding knife and a bloodstained shirt.

Both victims were transported to Jefferson University Hospital for treatment.
