A 70-year-old man with a walker was out for more than just an evening stroll Wednesday night.

Andrew L. Stephens, 70, of Storms Avenue in Jersey City, was arrested after the victim accused him of stabbing him in McGinley Square during what was described as a dispute over money. Police apprehended Stephens almost immediately after coming across the 49-year-old victim at Bergen and Storms avenue around 9 p.m., according to a police report.

The man was screaming "help me, I just got stabbed" and pointed police to Stephens, who was spotted 20 yards away using a medical walker and "walking at a fast pace," the report states.

Once Stephens was detained, the victim confirmed he had stabbed him. A woman also approached the officers with the knife that was allegedly used in the attack. Police ordered her to place it on the ground and then learned the woman had been walking with the victim when the 70-year-old approached them, according to the report.

The woman told police the two men then began to argue about money, prompting Stephens to pull out a "long knife" and stab the other man in his right upper arm, the report indicates.

The witness told cops that the man then handed the weapon to another woman, who "ran off and threw the knife into a flower pot" in the area of Montgomery and Bergen avenues. That's when the witness recovered the knife so that she could turn it over the police, she said in the report.

The victim was treated for his injury at the scene and refused any further treatment. However, Stephens complained of breathing complications and was taken to Jersey City Medical Center for evaluation and a medical clearance for incarceration, police said.

Stephens was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

According to court records, he was sentenced to three years in prison in 2011 for theft by deception and also previously pleaded guilty to forgery.
