A 34-year-old man was arrested early Tuesday morning after Fort Worth police say he stabbed another man who was trying to break up a fight between two women.

The incident happened in the 2400 block of Roosevelt Avenue — near Northwest 25th Street — just after midnight.

Police said two women were fighting as two men looked on. One of the men tried to intervene, but a second man tried to stop him. That led to a fight between the two men, which ended with a 30-year-old man being stabbed.

The man’s injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Police records say Arturo Alvarez was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A 22-year-old woman was arrested on warrants.
