The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) arrested a 47-year-old man in Newry on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
Around 8.40pm yesterday evening, PSNI received a report that a man in his 20s had been stabbed following an altercation outside a property in the Sugar Island area of Newry.
Police and paramedics attended the scene and the man received treatment for a stab wound to his leg.
He was taken to hospital for further treatment. His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
