One person was sent to hospital with serious injuries after a reported stabbing late last week in the southwest end of London, Ont.

London police say a man and woman were walking towards an apartment building in the 100-block of Baseline Road West at around 9:20 p.m. Friday when a second man approached them.

The two men got into a verbal argument that escalated into a physical altercation before the first man and woman entered the apartment building.

The second man followed them inside and stabbed the male victim, according to police.

The suspect fled on foot when police arrived but was arrested shortly after without any further incident. Police say the suspect had two knives on his person at the time of his arrest.

The victim was transported to a hospital with serious injuries.
