Suspect arrested after stabbing at a Shawnee barbecue restaurant
Shawnee police arrested a man in connection with a stabbing at a barbeque restaurant Thursday, a spokesperson said.
The Shawnee Police Department responded to Hayward’s Pit Bar B Que, 10901 West 75th Street, around 1:30 p.m. on reports of a physical disturbance, a department Facebook post said.
A man allegedly stabbed another man inside a business, according to the post. The victim was taken to an area hospital and was in stable condition Thursday.
Just before 3 a.m. Friday, officers from the Shawnee and Lenexa police departments responded to a report of a suspicious person near 79th Street and Quivira Road.
Upon arrival, officers located a person who matched the description of the suspect in the stabbing.
After a brief foot pursuit, officers took the suspect into custody, said Emily Rittman, a police spokeswoman.
“We appreciate assistance from our law enforcement partners and the community’s vigilance and cooperation,” Rittman said in an email.
