The suspect, who was also injured in the melee, was arrested on the scene and will face booking following his discharge from the hospital. Police have not yet released his identity. Amid the commotion, two others were arrested for fighting and disorderly conduct, which police believe was related to the stabbing, as reported by AZFamily.
