By Jim Melwert

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A 30-year-old man is facing several charges, including aggravated assault, as police say he stabbed a man during an argument outside of an Old City bar last month.

It happened as bars were clearing out, around 2:45am on Saturday, February 25th. 

Police say Louis Leonetti, who is from the 1500 block of south 13th Street, got in an argument with employees and patrons of Recess Bar, on the 100 block of South 2nd Street.

During the argument, Leonetti allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed a man in the leg.  That man was taken to Jefferson University hospital in critical condition, but did survive his wounds.
