A 45-year-old man was stabbed in the shoulder after a dispute over a missing firearm in Mosgiel yesterday, police say.
Senior Sergeant Al Dickie, of Mosgiel, said the man received minor injuries in the assault by a knife-wielding man known to the victim.
St John staff were called to the Mosgiel police station about 8.15am where the wounded man received stitches.
He did not require hospitalisation, Snr Sgt Dickie said.
A 38-year-old man sought in relation to the incident was apprehended by police in Bush Rd about 2.15pm, he said.
"Police executed a search warrant at his address in North Taieri about an hour later in search of the knife allegedly used in the stabbing. However, it was not located,'' Snr Sgt Dickie said.
No arrests had been made last night and police were continuing their investigation.
