WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) -- Police say a Connecticut man has been arrested for stabbing a Walmart clerk over the price of milk.
The Republican-American reports that the assault happened shortly after noon Sunday at a Walmart in Waterbury.
Police say 40-year-old Hichman Asfir, of Stamford, stabbed the cashier in the head with a folding knife after she scanned a gallon of milk and told him the price.
Asfir was arrested on charges including first-degree assault, police said. It's not clear if he has an attorney who can speak for him.
The 19-year-old victim was hospitalized for treatment of a puncture wound behind her left ear. She was in stable condition Sunday night.
