What started out as a drunken fight ended with a man being treated at the hospital with a stab wound to his leg, according to Bristol Township police.
Last Monday, officers were called to the Lower Bucks Hospital for a man suffering from a stab wound around 11:30 p.m. Upon arriving, the officer noticed a “large puncture wound” on the leg of a man.

The man told the officer he was stabbed in the left leg by his friend Davut Tekin, 48, of Bristol Township’s Edgely section, after a heated argument following a night of drinking, according to court papers.
At the scene of the alleged stabbing in the 1800 block of Edgely Road, Tekin reportedly admitted to stabbing his friend in the leg. Tekin said he washed the kitchen knife he used to stab his friend and put it near a dish in the sink, authorities said.
The injured man was transported to Lower Bucks Hospital by friends, police said.
