KALAMAZOO, Mich. — A suspect is in custody after an individual was stabbed during an armed robbery in Kalamazoo Monday morning.

The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety (KDPS) says a 52-year-old resident from Kalamazoo was stabbed multiple times near North and Burdick streets before 9 a.m.

We’re told the stabbing began as an argument over money.

KDPS says the two people involved know each other and the incident is not considered a random act of violence.

The suspect was arrested and the victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities say.

Public safety officials extend their gratitude to witnesses who provided detailed reports that led to a quick response from authorities.
