A 26-year old Akron man is under arrest after his alleged involvement in a double stabbing incident around 4 Thursday afternoon. Officers responded to a stabbing in the 100 block of Ira Avenue.

Two roommates, William Strutz, 51, and Jared Owens, 26, were involved in a verbal argument that turned physical when both roommates used knives to stab each other.

William Stutz was stabbed multiple times in the back, neck, and face. He was transported to Akron General Hospital where his injuries do not appear to be life threatening.                 

Jared Owens had two minor lacerations on his face and neck and was treated on scene.

Jared Owens was charged with Felonious Assault and booked into the Summit County Jail.
