A Canton man was arrested Sunday for allegedly stabbing his adult son at the family’s home in Cherokee County.
The stabbing happened Sunday afternoon at a house on Crisler Street, Canton police Detective Candy Worthy said.
According to Worthy, Anthony Lamar Johnson Jr., 25, was stabbed by his father, 53-year-old Anthony Lamar Johnson Sr., during an argument.
The elder Johnson then drove his son to Northside Hospital-Cherokee. Police were called, but the suspect left before officers arrived, Worthy said in an e-mail.
A lookout was posted for the suspect, and he was found at the Pinecrest Motel on Holly Springs Parkway and arrested by Holly Springs police. He was charged with aggravated battery and taken to the Cherokee County jail.
The victim was later airlifted to the intensive care unit at Atlanta Medical Center for further treatment.
