HAMILTON — An argument over $8 ended Saturday night when one man stabbed another in the back, police said.

Daesean Lynch, 19, of Hamilton was jailed on aggravated assault and weapons charges after stabbing a 25-year-old man in the back. He was taken to Mercer County jail, Hopewell Township, in lieu of $25,000 bail, according to Capt. James Stevens.

Police also arrested Dianna Ray, 41, of Hamilton and Jairre Muldrow, 24, of Trenton. Each was charged with obstruction and resisting arrest. They were released with a court date, Stevens said.

Police were called to the 400 block of Massachusetts Avenue around 8 p.m. to break up a fight among friends that began in an apartment and spilled into the street, Stevens said.

The fight began as a verbal argument over the money that turned physical and ended when Lynch stabbed the 25-year-old in the back. The victim suffered only minor injuries and was treated at Capital Health Medical Center in Trenton and released, Stevens said.
