“Two young guys at a DUI class got into a verbal argument,” Detective Joe Higby said. “One had a knife and stabbed the other.”

The victim, a 23-year-old Martinez resident, reportedly suffered superficial injuries.

He was uncooperative at the scene and police said the victim did not want the case prosecuted.

The suspect, a 25-year-old resident of Bay Point, later contacted the authorities to turn himself in.

Police are currently withholding the identities of both men and the case remains under investigation.
