Brother says he was stabbed over Hot Pocket
Tribune Staff Report
SOUTH BEND – A 20-year-old man told police he was stabbed by his younger brother Sunday night after a fight broke out over a Hot Pocket.
St. Joseph County police were called to an apartment in the 3600 block of Generations Drive just after 7 p.m. Sunday, where they found a man bleeding from a cut on his side.
Although the man was initially uncooperative with police, he admitted that he got into a fight with his 18-year-old brother over the micorwave sandwich.
The victim told police the two began fighting over who got to eat the Hot Pocket, pushing and grappling with each other into a hallway. He said his younger brother then grabbed a steak knife off the kitchen counter and stabbed at his brother, cutting him on his left side.
Police said the victim was able wrestle the knife away from his brother, who then left on foot.
Officers searched the area with a police dog, but were unable to locate him.
The man was transported to the hospital with minor injuries, where he was treated and released.
Police said the final fate of the disputed Hot Pocket is not known.
When I first seen this before reading the story I expected the ages to be a lot younger,
Correct me if I am wrong , but at 20 and 18 years of age these two brothers should be out earning rent and utilities car payments etc... not standing around a mico wave fighting over a sandwich is a bit , 'south of left field' ya think ?
