A man leaving a church in Encanto Sunday morning got into an argument on the sidewalk and ended up getting stabbed in the neck.
The unidentified victim suffered a two inch cut to his neck, but the injuries are not considered life threatening. The attack happened outside of a church on the 6000 block of Aikens St.
San Diego police say the suspect was found a few blocks away.
"Witnesses directed officers to a possible suspect who was running northbound a few blocks away on 65th street," Sgt. Steve Shaw said. "When he was contacted, he did throw down a knife and was taken into custody."
The unnamed suspect was arrested on a parole violation, and is now facing possible assault charges. The motive for the attack is not known.
