BISMARCK, ND (KXNET) — A 33-year-old man is in jail today after allegedly stabbing a 52-year-old man Friday, September 13, near the area of Ministry on the Margins in Bismarck.

Police say it is unclear what provoked the assault.

Officers responded to the 200 block of North 24th Street shortly before 10:45 p.m. for a report of a man who had been stabbed multiple times.  When officers arrived, they provided medical aid to the 52-year-old. Witnesses and video surveillance provided a description of the suspect, who was later located around 24th Street and Thayer Ave.
