Gallup police responded to a call about a reported stabbing just after noon Feb. 21.

One of the men received a cut on his arm while the other had what appeared to be a cut to the forehead.  Spencer said the cut on the forehead does not appear to be from a knife and may have been caused by the man falling down or hitting his head on something.

Both men have been transported to a local hospital. As of 5 pm the day of the stabbing, no arrests had been made and police had not released the names of the two men.
