Kent Police responded just before noon Thursday to a reported stabbing during a dispute between two employees at Ecco Heating Products, 20001 87th Ave S., in the industrial area of north Kent.
One employee stabbed the other with a razor box cutter, according to a Kent Police media release. Subsequently, other employees intervened and were able to hold the suspect down until patrol units arrived.
The victim, who was said to be conscious and breathing, was transported to the hospital by a fellow employee prior to first responders getting on scene. The extent of his injuries at this time are unknown.
Detectives are in the process of interviewing witnesses and trying to ascertain what exactly led to the chain of events resulting in the stabbing, said police spokeswoman Melanie Frazier. Police have not yet released the names of the employees.
