Fort Worth police: Hand-washing dispute led to stabbing
Associated Press
FORT WORTH — Police say an assailant charged a group of men in a bar parking lot, stabbing one of them, because he apparently grew angry that one of the men didn't wash his hands in the bathroom.
Police responding to the Tumbleweeds Sports Bar early Thursday morning found Eric Jennings Kisiah, 27, being restrained by several men outside the bar.
Kisiah had confronted a group of three friends at the bar because he was upset about one of them not washing his hands after using the restroom, according to a police report.
Witnesses told police that Kisiah called the men names and told them that they were dirty. Before leaving the bar, he threatened to "slash their throats," one of the men told police.
Kisiah was hiding near a shrub outside the bar and charged the men as they left. After the fight, the friends realized Morgan Jackson's shirt was soaked in blood and he had been stabbed, according to the police report.
Jackson, 25, was listed in good condition Thursday evening at a Fort Worth hospital after undergoing surgery. Police say he was stabbed three times in his left torso and once in his back.
Police found an 8-inch knife with what appeared to be blood on it near the scene of the attack.
Kisiah was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was being held in the Mansfield Jail on Thursday evening with bail set at $20,000.
