Charges were filed Wednesday against a man who police say stabbed another man in the neck and arms inside a Salt Lake City hotel.

According to court documents, the man, 23, entered a room Sunday at the Inn Towne Suites, 48 West 3300 South, where the other man was there visiting a friend who was a hotel guest. When the man entered the room he told the other man to leave, but that man was concerned for the safety of the two women and three children in the room so he refused to go. The man who had just entered the room then grabbed a pair of scissors and stabbed the other man in the neck and arms. He was arrested shortly thereafter.

The man was charged with aggravated assault, a third-degree felony. — Ethan Thomas
