A Southwest Roanoke man was stabbed Friday evening after he tried to break up a fight between his wife and another woman.

Theodore R. Young, 23, of Rorer Avenue Southwest was with his wife in a parking lot in the 200 block of Cherry Avenue Northwest when she and another woman began fighting, a Roanoke police news release said. When Young tried to stop the fight, he was stabbed in the chest with a knife by the other woman's father..

The man with the knife fled on foot, the release said.

Young was taken to Community Hospital in a car, but was transferred to Roanoke Memorial Hospital because of the severity of his wound. He still was in surgery late Friday.
