A Dumfries man is behind bars after stabbing another man in the arm last week during a fight, according to the Prince William County police.

The police on Wednesday night arrested Kenneth Eugene Jackson, 50, of 17964 Main St., and charged him with malicious wounding, according to a police report. He’s being held without bond at the Prince William-Manassas regional jail, and his next date in court is Sept. 16.

Police officers responded to the scene of the fight at 11:35 p.m. in the 15100 block of Farm Creek Drive in Woodbridge, the police report said. The victim, a 42-year-old Dumfries man, told them that he and Jackson, an acquaintance, had gotten into a verbal altercation that escalated.

Jackson then allegedly cut the victim on the arm with a knife, the police said. He left the scene before officers arrived, and the victim was treated at the scene. A short time later, Jackson was located and detained without incident.
