FINNEY COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a violent knife attack at a McDonald's in Garden City and have a suspect in custody.
Just after 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to the McDonald's 1106 N. Taylor Avenue in Garden City for a fight in progress, according to a media release.
Upon arrival, officers located a woman and two men standing outside of the business and learned one of the men had been stabbed.
The investigation revealed that the three individuals were shopping in Garden City when they were confronted by a man known to them, identified as 33-year-old Adam Barnett of Scott City.
The three individuals fled the confrontation in their vehicle with Barnett attempting to follow them. The three believed they had lost Barnett and stopped to eat at McDonald’s West.
Barnett arrived at McDonald’s a short time later, exited his vehicle with a knife in his hand and began walking towards the restaurant.
The two men met Barnett in the parking lot, and a physical altercation ensued. The fight continued inside the business near the restroom where the woman was hiding.
One of the men attempted to stop Barnett from entering the restroom when Barnett stabbed him.
The fight was broken up, and Barnett then fled the area in his vehicle. EMS transported the 32-year-old male stabbing victim to St. Catherine Hospital, where he was treated and released for his injury.
Police later located Barnett and took into custody on requested charges of Aggravated Battery, Aggravated Assault, Stalking and Criminal Use of a Weapon. No other injuries were reported from the incident, according to police.
