Man stabbed at Ind. youth basketball game

MIDDLETOWN, Ind. -- Police say a man stabbed his wife's ex-husband during a fight that broke out during a youth basketball game at a central Indiana school.

Henry County Sheriff Butch Baker says 34-year-old Eric Allred of Muncie suffered a non-life-threatening stab wound to his torso and was taken to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.

Baker tells The Star Press that Allred and 27-year-old Christopher Ellis of Middletown started arguing in the bleachers during Saturday's game at Shenandoah Elementary School. Baker says the fight then moved into a restroom, where Ellis attacked Allred with a knife.

The Herald Bulletin reports Allred is the father of a child who was playing.

Ellis was being held in the Henry County Jail on preliminary aggravated battery charges.
