UPDATE 10:10 AM:
Police responded early this morning to City Market where a 23-year-old man reported he had been stabbed in the arm, according to a report released by SPD and information collected from police radio chatter. The victim described his assailant as a white male wearing a black sweater and blue jeans and said his attacker was accompanied by a woman wearing a white skirt. Police tracked the pair to the Broadway Market QFC where they were taken into custody about ten minutes after the 4:12 AM callout. According to the Seattle Fire Department, the man’s injuries were not serious. The 20-year-old man arrested at QFC was booked on investigation of assault.

UPDATE 11:07 AM:
A few more details from SPD about what lead to the stabbing — sounds like it was not a robbery attempt or an attack on the street. Police say the victim told them the men were hanging out with others in the same room of a building in the 1700 block of Bellevue when the two began arguing and the 20-year-old man stabbed the 23-year-old in the left forearm and then ran from the building.
