Just before 6:30p.m. Saturday, officers were dispatched to report of a stabbing at Oakdale Park, 730 Oakdale Drive in Salina, according to Salina Police Sergeant Kyle Tonniges.
Officers arrived and found a 49-year-old male victim from Salina had been stabbed in the side of the chest. Numerous witnesses reported a verbal altercation between two woman in the park. At one point, the stabbing victim allegedly threw a soda can at one of the women.
