Argument Over Stolen Meatball Leads to Stabbing: Police

Swiping a meatball from someone’s lunch is no laughing matter.

Criminal charges are pending after an argument between two workers at a Fallston business over a missing meatball led to a stabbing Thursday, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office said.

Deputies were called to the 2300 block of Belair Road for a dispute about one employee eating the other’s meatball from his lunch, Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Cristie Kahler told The Baltimore Sun.

During the argument, a 36-year-old Aberdeen man was stabbed in the arm by a 31-year-old Edgewood man. The injured party had reportedly eaten a meatball from the assailant’s lunch, authorities said.

The Aberdeen man was treated and released from a local hospital.

Authorities didn’t specify which business was the scene of the dispute. But readers on the Baltimore Sun Facebook page, where the story was posted, suggested it was at Italian Sensation restaurant, located at 2316 Belair Road in Fallston.

According to Google Maps, the only two restaurants on that block are Italian Sensation and Plaza Mexico.
