NEW YORK -- A woman has been arrested in connection to a stabbing inside a restaurant in Midtown.

It happened Friday night at Ruth's Chris Steak House on West 51st Street and Broadway. 

Police say two women having dinner at the restaurant became angry when a man sitting at a nearby table got into an argument with a restaurant employee.

One of the women allegedly approached the man with a knife and stabbed him in the back before she and the other woman ran off.

The 24-year-old victim was taken to a local hospital in stable condition. The restaurant worker was not hurt.

Police say 41-year-old Joan Thompson, of West Harlem, was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with assault and menacing.
