An argument between two men in Troy escalated into a life-threatening stabbing Thursday night.

Troy Police Chief Randall Barr said police responded to a fight in progress on County Road 3057.

“When officers arrived on scene, a 32-year-old male subject involved had been transported by private vehicle to Troy Regional Medical Center with a stab wound to the chest,” Barr said. “He was later transported by Haynes Ambulance to a Montgomery hospital with life-threatening injuries.”

The other person involved, a 54-year-old man, was still on scene and was taken into custody on an existing alias warrant issued by the Troy Municipal Court.

“The knife used was recovered at the scene and placed into evidence,” Barr said. “The initial investigation revealed that the two men were involved in an argument before the situation turned physical.”

No charges have yet been filed in the case and the circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation by the Troy Police Department and the Pike County District Attorney’s Office.

Anyone with any information about this case is asked to contact the Troy Police Department at 334-566-0500 or via the secret witness line at 334-566-5555.
