KENT COUNTY, Mich. — A 19-year-old man from Tyrone Township has been arrested after stabbing someone Sunday morning, says the Kent County Sheriff's Office.

The incident happened at 9 a.m. when deputies responded to a call at 14101 Sparta Ave. NW about someone being stabbed. When first responders arrived, they found a 30-year-old man also from Tyrone Township with stab wounds in the stomach at a nearby address.

He is in stable condition at a nearby hospital.

Investigators say around 9:30 a.m., deputies responded to another call at N Division Avenue near Solon Street that three bystanders were holding down a man "acting erratically" near a red jeep.

Authorities believe the suspect had stolen the vehicle to leave the initial scene.

They then took the 19-year-old into custody.

Officials say that the victim and suspect know each other, and that drugs may be a cause of the incident, but it's still under investigation.
