MUHLENBERG TWP., Pa. \u2014 Authorities say the incident started around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday with a report of a stabbing in a Walmart parking lot.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficers responded, found the one stabbing victim. EMS also responded. They gave him first aid and transported him to Reading Hospital,\u201d said Detective Sgt. Ramon Caraballo of the Muhlenberg Township Police Department.<\/p>\n
Police say two men had argued over driving in the parking lot. One assaulted the other. During the fight, police say the man who was assaulted used a knife.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne subject assaulted the other. A scuffle ensued, and that subject wound up with a stabbing wound that was determined to be non-life-threatening,\u201d Caraballo said.<\/p>\n
Investigators are now waiting for surveillance video.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to really look at the video and review it to see if it matches statements provided by witnesses and persons involved,\u201d Caraballo said.<\/p>\n
Police say the men were strangers, and there is no threat to the public. Caraballo says fights like this rarely happen there. His advice is simple.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust walk away. It\u2019s as simple as that,\u201d Carabello said. \u201cJust walk away. Let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MUHLENBERG TWP., Pa. \u2014 Authorities say the incident started around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday with a report of a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[10951,11228,4032,973,33214,206,128,130,129,2794,326,23258],"class_list":["post-297433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-argument","tag-assault","tag-emergency-services","tag-muhlenberg-township","tag-parking-lot","tag-police","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news","tag-stabbing","tag-surveillance-video","tag-walmart"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
