Bloody spat between men in wheelchairs

A spat between men in wheelchairs turned bloody in the Tenderloin on Wednesday when a knife became involved, police said.

A 54-year-old man suffered cuts to his ear and hand but was not seriously injured in the 800 block of O’Farrell Street around 2:10 p.m., police said.

The men were arguing when the knife-wielding suspect, a 53-year-old man, stabbed the victim. The victim fought back, disabling the suspect’s wheelchair and wrestling away the knife, police said.

Cops responded and the suspect was arrested, police said.

The stabbed man refused medical attention, police said.
