The 62-year-old male stated Karl Gage had entered his residence and an argument ensued. During the argument Gage used a knife to cut the male’s face and arm. The male suffered lacerations to his lip and arm consistent with a cut from a sharp instrument. The male subject sought medical treatment due to the injuries caused by Gage.
