A spat at a popular midtown steakhouse came to a quick conclusion when one of its customers stabbed another in the back with a steak knife, police said.
The preliminary investigation said the victim complained to restaurant staff about the food service at the restaurant, when two women sitting next to the man started arguing with him. It happened around 10:30 p.m. at the Ruth's Chris Steak House on West 51st Street near Seventh Avenue.
At some point, one of the women grabbed a steak knife and stabbed the 24-year-old man in the back, according to police. Both of the women then ran out of the restaurant.
Officials caught up to the women Saturday and arrested one of them for assault and menacing.
