A Salina man is recovering from a non-life-threatening stab wound, however, little is known about what led to the incident.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that officers were sent to the Salina Regional Health Center emergency room, where a 23-year-old Salina man was being treated for a 1.5-inch stab wound in his right shoulder.

Forrester said the man "was not forthcoming" with information about the incident.

According to Forrester, there was a report that the man was stabbed on N. Eighth Street in the vicinity of the Salvation Army Community Center, which is located at 1137 N. Santa Fe Avenue. Additionally, a witness told police that the man had been arguing with another man in that area, Forrester said.
