The victim then told officers that Flores stabbed him in the side with a small pocket knife during the fight.  The man was taken to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital by ambulance for treatment of a non-life threatening injury.

A short time later, officers located Flores downtown.  Flores was still in possession of the knife.  Flores was arrested for aggravated assault and transported the City Detention Center.
