One man is in the hospital and his brother is in jail after the two got into a fight over drugs Saturday evening.

 

Police were called out to Henry Street near Zarzamora on the West side.  Police say two brothers that live together got into a fight involving drugs.  The older brother grabbed a machete and slashed the younger one in the stomach.

 

The suspect then fled the scene, but officers caught up to him a few miles away.   He is being charged with assault with a deadly weapon.  The victim is in critical condition at University Hospital.

These low life's can't afford bullets much less a gun, unless they steal it.

At face value, losing both of these two "fine" individuals, wouldn't be a huge loss to society. One is costing taxpayers by being incarcerated; the other one is in the hospital, probably WITHOUT private healthcare of any kind. @Phrilly...My point exactly. Too bad they both didn't use bullets and do away with one another.

Machete? Again? What's with these people running around with machetes of all things. Not much good against a bullet.
