A 23-year-old Sayville man was arrested after police said he stabbed a 19-year-old during a fight inside a Sayville restaurant early Friday morning.
Aaron Gonzalez was inside the restaurant at 60 South Main St. when he became involved in a dispute with the victim at approximately 1:10 a.m. on July 24, according to Suffolk County police.
Police said the dispute became physical and Gonzalez stabbed the 19-year-old during the altercation.
The victim was transported to South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Gonzalez suffered minor injuries and was taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Suffolk in Patchogue in a private vehicle, police said.
Gonzalez was charged with second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He was scheduled to be held overnight at the Sixth Precinct before his arraignment at First District Court in Central Islip on July 25.
The charges are accusations, and Gonzalez is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
