A man stabbed Wednesday evening during an altercation in Schaumburg was treated and released from the hospital, then charged with battery after police determined the other man had acted in self-defense, authorities said Thursday.

Officers were dispatched at 7:02 p.m. Wednesday to a yard on the 1800 block of Dunsford Court, Schaumburg police Sgt. Karen McCartney said.
