WAUKESHA, WI -- A 49-year-old Waukesha man has been arrested and charged after authorities say he is the man responsible for a stabbing on Springdale Road on Jan. 22.

According to Waukesha Police reports, officers responded to an apartment on the 2400 block of Springdale Road just after 9 p.m. on Jan. 22 on a report of a stabbing.
