A Raleigh County man is in jail after deputies say he cut another man with a knife.
According to a release from the Raleigh County Sheriff's Office, it happened on Sunday at a residence on Fortuna Road in the Harper area. That's where deputies say Donald Matthew Bradley, 40, of Harper, pulled a knife on Mark Anthony Milam - cutting him across his stomach.
Deputies say Bradley took off in a vehicle. Milam was taken to the hospital for emergency surgery.
Witnesses at the scene identified Bradley as the suspect and deputies caught up with him a short time later in the Lower Sandlick/Glen Daniel area of Raleigh County. Deputies say that Bradley confronted Milam over an incident with his son that happened the previous day.
