WEST VALLEY CITY — Police say three people were stabbed in the parking lot of a bowling alley after an argument turned violent Sunday night.
Lt. Bill Merritt with the West Valley City Police Department said officers responded to Delton Lanes at 3544 W. 3500 South and quickly apprehended the suspect.
"The suspect had become upset inside the bowling lanes, so his brother tried to calm him down (outside)," Merritt said. "Apparently, he didn't like that, so he stabbed his own brother."
Two bystanders tried to intervene and were also stabbed.
One of those bystanders was a 17-year-old boy who suffered serious stab wounds in his arm. Merritt said doctors were not sure if they would be able to save his arm or if they would have to amputate it.
Merritt said the other bystander suffered serious injuries, but none of the injuries was considered life-threatening.
The suspect was arrested and booked into jail for investigation of aggravated assault, aggravated child abuse, intoxication and resisting arrest.
