US citizen arrested after knife assault

A 28-year-old US citizen has been arrested on felony charges by the police in Ostrava, northern Moravia, after he stabbed another man in the stomach on Sunday. The two men were arguing in a bar; the American then came closer and stabbed his companion. The injured man was taken to a hospital and was later released. A police spokesperson said that the US national is already prosecuted in the Czech Republic for grievous bodily harm and public disturbance he had committed earlier this year.
