Alfonso Castillo said.<\/p>\n<p>Responding officers found one man with a \u201csignificant stab wound\u201d to his right thigh. Castillo said the gas station was busy, prompting a \u201cchaotic scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Castillo said one person was pulling up to get gas as another was backing up to refuel at the same pump. This led to an argument and fight, during which one of the drivers produced a knife and stabbed the other party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a fight over a gas pump,\u201d Castillo said.<\/p>\n<p>The man who was stabbed then retrieved a firearm, which he either brandished or pointed at the other driver, Castillo said.<\/p>\n<p>Police detained both people. The man who was stabbed was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and is in stable condition.<\/p>\n<p>Police are working to determine who the aggressor was and are asking for the public\u2019s help, as there were numerous people at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Officers temporarily closed off the scene while they canvassed the area.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone with information can call the Fresno Police Department at <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnobee.com\/news\/local\/crime\/tel:559-621-7000\">559-621-7000<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>                                          <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG_4787.jpg\"   width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"IMG_4787.jpg\" alt=\"After a fight over a fuel pump at a packed gas station, one man was stabbed and produced a firearm, Fresno police said.\"\/>                                                                                    After a fight over a fuel pump at a packed gas station, one man was stabbed and produced a firearm, Fresno police said.
