A MORNING drink between three men in Hallam ended with stab wounds and hospital trips after an argument boiled over.
The three men were drinking at a George Avenue home on Thursday 8 December when an argument between the men turned nasty, about 10.30am.
The argument started after the men had a disagreement about how one of them treated their partner.
The argument turned violent when one of the men produced a knife and attempted to attack the other two.
Two of the three men were taken to hospital; one with minor stab wounds and the other with a substantial cut to his hand that caused significant blood loss.
One of the men who was transported to hospital was later identified by police as the principal offender and was charged with serious assault offences.
