A 24-year-old man walking in a north Richland neighborhood early Saturday was stabbed in the arm when another man pulled up in a car and attacked him.

The victim, Keenan Talbot of Richland, was treated by paramedics at the scene, then driven by his girlfriend to Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland for a 2-inch-long cut on his arm, said Sgt. Kevin Berger.

Richland police were notified of a stabbing in a neighborhood north of Snyder Road. The attack reportedly happened at 1:05 a.m.

Talbot, who'd been at a party at a nearby home, told officers he was confronted while walking on Center Street.

"A short scuffle ensued and the suspect fled immediately following the stabbing," Berger said.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man with a shaved head, wearing a white T-shirt and khaki pants.

Police interviewed several witnesses and are continuing to investigate the stabbing.
