Man stabbed at East Cobb church

From Atlanta-

Two part-time handymen at an East Cobb church may be looking for new jobs.

Cobb police say no charges have been filed following a stabbing incident Tuesday morning at a church on Johnson Ferry Road.

What started as a verbal fight between two men — age 50 and 24 — ended with the older man heading to the hospital. Police would not release the names of the men. The injured man is expected to be fine.

The incident happened shortly after 10 a.m. at the Episcopal Church of St. Peter and St. Paul at 1795 Johnson Ferry Road, Cobb police spokesman Joe Hernandez said.

A verbal argument escalated into a physical altercation, and the older man pinned the younger man. The 24-year-old then apparently pulled out a pocket knife and cut the other man.

“Stuff like this happens all the time, but not necessarily at churches,” Hernandez said.

A church receptionist would not comment on the incident Tuesday afternoon.
