1 injured, 1 in custody after reported assault at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills

One person is injured and another is in custody after an altercation at Sbarro inside the Great Lakes Crossing Outlets in Auburn Hills, Michigan, police said Sunday.

Two employees of the fast food restaurant were involved in the incident that erupted about 12:30 p.m. Multiple phone calls were made to 911, reporting that two men were fighting in a back room at the restaurant. Auburn Hills Police and Fire departments responded to the scene.

The Auburn Hills Police Department said the suspect ran out of the mall before officers arrived, but officers were able to identify him as an 18-year-old who lives in Pontiac. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office located him and took him into custody, and he is at the Oakland County Jail while the Oakland County Prosecutor's office reviews the case. 

In the meantime, the fire department took the 18-year-old victim to an area hospital, where he was treated for injuries described as non-life-threatening.

A worker at the shopping center told CBS News Detroit that one Sbarro employee stabbed the other. While authorities did not detail their employment, officers said the altercation did happen in the restaurant's back room.

"The incident stemmed from an ongoing disagreement between the victim and the suspect," police added.

Police ask that anyone who witnessed the incident or has further information contact the Auburn Hills Police Department at 248-370-9444.

On July 11, a 20-year-old man was killed and a 19-year-old woman was injured in a shooting at the shopping center. According to police, it happened at the food court after an argument between the 20-year-old and a 22-year-old man.

Officials said the 22-year-old man, from Detroit, was taken into custody after the July 11 incident.

The Auburn Hills Police Department said two days after the shooting that it would be increasing daily patrols inside and around the shopping center.
