A 27-year-old man was stabbed at Swizzle Inn during an altercation at the South Shore, Warwick restaurant.

Police say the incident happened around 12.35 a.m. yesterday and involved three men. "The Warwick man was unable to recall how he was injured and declined to make a formal complainant," said a Police spokesperson.

The victim, who Police have not named, resides in Warwick.

He was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital yesterday morning and treated for a stab wound to his back and a swollen right eye.

Last night a hospital spokeswoman said he was listed in a stable condition on a general ward.
