Here's another stabbing that doesn't quite fit our Knife Crime rubric: on Sunday night, a 49-year-old man was slashed in the face by a chopstick-wielding aggressor near Eighth and Market Streets. The victim had apparently spotted the man with the chopsticks getting aggressive with a woman on the street and tried to cut in, only to get cut by the plucky utensils.

A third man witnessed the confrontation and managed to detain the suspect until police arrived to arrest the guy. No word yet on charges for the chopstick chump, but we're curious: were these splintery wooden takeout variety chopsticks or those fancy acrylic ones?
