Dec. 30—One man was hospitalized and another was arrested after a stabbing Sunday in downtown Wichita.

Wichita police responded to a stabbing call at 4:23 p.m. in the 500 block of North Broadway at the Lord’s Diner, which serves evening meals to anyone who needs one.

Police found a 20-year-old man near the front doors with a stab wound to his upper chest, Wichita police spokesperson Juan Rebolledo said.

He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and underwent surgery. He is expected to survive, Rebolledo said Monday in an email.

The stabbing happened after an argument between the victim and a 35-year-old man, Rebolledo said. Officers arrested the 35-year-old man in the area.

Both men are from Wichita and do not have permanent housing, according to Rebolledo.
