LUDINGTON, Mich. — A fight between two teenagers in Ludington sent one boy to the hospital and the other to juvenile detention.
The Ludington Police Department said just after 7:30 p.m. Friday, officers got word of a stabbing at Legacy Plaza.
When they showed up, that's where they found a 16-year-old boy with a stab wound in his lower back.
Medical personnel rushed him to a nearby hospital in Ludington, and he was then later transferred to a Grand Rapids area hospital for treatment. Authorities said he was seriously wounded but is stable.
After authorities interviewed the victim and witnesses, they said a fight happened between the two teens in the alley behind the 100 block of West Ludington Avenue.
During the fight, a 17-year-old suspect is accused of pulling out a knife and stabbing the victim in the lower back. The two were apparently acquaintances.
The older teenager then took off and ran to Legacy Plaza, where a witness called 911, authorities said.
Law enforcement found the 17-year-old Ludington boy at a home in town, arrested him, and took him to a juvenile detention center.
He now awaits arraignment.
The case is still active, and if you have any information that could help detectives, you're asked to reach out to Det. Jacob Miller at 231-843-3425.
