SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a violent knife attack and the suspect remains in custody.
Just after 6:30 p.m. Friday, police responded to a stabbing at a residence in the 800 block of South Beverly in Wichita, according to officer Kevin Wheeler.
Upon arrival, officers located a 63-year-old man who had been stabbed multiple times. He was transported to a local hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
The investigation revealed that 61-year-old Martin Cole and the 63-year-old victim who are neighbors, were involved in an earlier disturbance at a nearby bar. They both left the bar and went to their residences. A second disturbance occurred between the two, where the 63-year-old was stabbed.
Cole was arrested without incident at his residence on a requested charge of attempted 1st-degree murder and an outstanding city of Wichita warrant. He remains jailed on total bonds of $152,500, according to online jail records.
The case will presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.
