DANVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — A man was hurt in a stabbing Thursday afternoon in Danville.
Danville Police responded to the skate park at Millennium Park around 3:45 p.m. for reports of a stabbing.
When crews arrived, they located 30-year-old Levi Cook suffering from a stab wound to the back.
Police say witnesses on the scene identified a suspect, 32-year-old Justin Green of Junction City, who was immediately detained by police.
Through investigation, officers determined that a fight had broken out between the two men when Green allegedly took out a knife and stabbed Cook. That knife was found under the front seat of a car near the scene.
Cook was transported to a local hospital and then airlifted to UK Hospital—no word on his condition.
Green was charged with first-degree assault and tampering with physical evidence.
