When a man made a comment about Kalema Stubbs’ girlfriend, Stubbs apparently pulled a knife and stabbed the man.

The incident took place late Wednesday night at North Point Mall in Alpharetta, according to police.

Ronel Brewer, 32, said “she has pretty feet ... can I rub them?” in front of Stubbs and his girlfriend, Linda Lewis.

Stubbs, 30, apparently didn’t appreciate the comment. He pulled out a knife and cut Brewer on his left forearm, Alpharetta police spokesman officer George Gordon said.

Stubbs was arrested for the charge of aggravated assault, police said.

“I’m unsure if Stubbs and his girlfriend knew the other party,” Gordon said.

Stubbs is being held at the Alpharetta jail, police said.
