Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland, his wife and another woman were stabbed early Wednesday (April 8), following an argument outside a Manhattan nightclub, reports the AP.
The incident broke out at around 4 a.m. this morning outside 1Oak Club.
Reports say the couple was arguing on the street as the attacker eavesdropped, and started to interfere. From there, the dispute escalated to the point where the 22-year-old suspect pulled out a knife and started slashing, police said.
A suspect named Shezoy Bleary was in custody this morning, says authorities, though charges were pending.
31-year-old Copeland was stabbed in the left elbow and abdomen, while his wife Katrine Saltara, was slashed in the arm and across the breast. A second woman, who was believed to be with the attacker, was slashed in the abdomen. All the victims were hospitalized and are in stable condition.
Furthermore, Atlanta Hawks players Pero Antic and Thabo Sefolosha were arrested on obstruction charges, after police said they blocked officers from trying to start their investigation.
