MORGAN HILL (CBS SF) – A 55-year-old man allegedly stabbed his roommate in Morgan Hill Friday morning with a knife, a police sergeant said.

Raul Garcia was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, police Sgt. Carson Thomas said.

A woman called police shortly after 7:30 a.m. to report her boyfriend was stabbed at their home in the 17000 block of Walnut Grove Drive, police Sgt. Carson Thomas said.

Responding officers spoke with the victim, a 50-year-old man, who suffered two puncture wounds to his side, Thomas said.
