A neighborhood disagreement erupted into violence in Penn Hills, leading to a man being arrested for stabbing another man with a corkscrew. According to information from WPXI, police say Jonathan Hairston, 51, was taken into custody after he allegedly stabbed the victim in the stomach yesterday afternoon outside of his house on Funston Avenue. On this quiet street, neighbor Henry Finney stated, "We never have any crimes going on, on this street."

The altercation appears to have been sparked by Hairston's belief that the victim attempted to kick in his front door after a prior disagreement. Police noted the victim tried to drive himself to the hospital but collapsed on Runnette Street, where he was found and given aid by witnesses until medics arrived – he is expected to survive following hospitalization at UPMC Presby. "I’m glad they were on it and everything is taken care of," Finney said, per WPXI, expressing his hope for increased police patrols in the area.

Hairston, now facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault, was also reported by WTAE to have become agitated after his arrest, shaking cell doors and ramming them with his head, which led to him being hospitalized before his subsequent jail accommodation. The victim, conversely, had communicated to the police that his mother's neighbor was the one who had stabbed him.
