A 63-year-old man was stabbed in Nordhavn, Copenhagen on Baltikavej Saturday evening, prompting a police investigation and the arrest of a 57-year-old man.

The incident occurred around 7:19 PM, and police responded to find the victim with knife wounds. He was immediately transported to Rigshospitalet for treatment. According to authorities, his injuries are minor to moderate, and he is expected to be discharged soon, possibly without requiring surgery.

Preliminary investigations suggest the stabbing resulted from a disagreement about recreational fishing in the harbor. Copenhagen Police duty officer Rasmus Nielsen explained that a dispute escalated into a physical altercation between the two men. The exact circumstances of the stabbing are still under investigation, including the possibility that the victim was injured by his own knife.

Police are seeking witnesses to the event to clarify the sequence of events. While there was some disorder at the scene involving arguing individuals, police believe it was a culmination of a previous disagreement.

Authorities have not yet determined whether the 57-year-old man will be formally charged and remanded in custody. The police plan to re-interrogate both individuals involved to determine the next steps in the investigation. The duty officer assured the public that there is no cause for concern in the area.
