HOBOKEN, NJ — A Bergen County man was arrested around 6:30 p.m. Friday night in Hoboken in connection with a non-fatal stabbing, police said Saturday.

Kasaun Patterson of Lodi, 42, allegedly stabbed another man in a fight outside McDonald's on Washington Street, police said.

Patterson was taken to the Hoboken Police Department and charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, unlawful possession of a weapon, and resisting arrest.

He was processed and taken to the Hudson County Correctional Facility.
