PATERSON— A Paterson family gathering to watch a boxing match ended this morning in violence when a drunken, 34-year-old city man stabbed his relatives with a knife following a dispute about rent, a Paterson police sergeant said.
Last night, Antonio Lopez, 34, and Fernando Pena, 25 invited guests to an apartment on Madison Avenue in Paterson to watch the match between Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. and Canelo Alvarez.
The two men stayed up drinking well past the end of the fight and got into an argument about rent money and other issues, said Sgt. David Rios. Lopez used a knife to stab Pena multiple times on his arms and the side of his torso around 7:45 this morning, Rios said.
Lopez has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault, illegal possession of a weapon and several other charges, Rios said. He said Pena remains in critical condition.
Another female relative also sustained some cuts to her fingers during the scuffle.
