Police believe a fight over a woman led to the stabbing of one man and the arrest of another for attempted murder early Saturday in southeast Brainerd.
Brainerd Police officers were dispatched about 1:43 a.m. Saturday to St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd after receiving a report of a stabbing victim at the hospital.
The victim, Jeffrey Ryan Bock, 27, Brainerd, suffered numerous stab wounds, police said. He was reported in stable condition Sunday at St. Joseph's Medical Center.

The suspect, Dominic Donald Duane Dubois, 23, Brainerd, later turned himself in at the Brainerd Police Department. He was arrested for attempted murder and first-degree assault and is being held in the Crow Wing County Jail pending formal charges.
Brainerd Police Chief John Bolduc said the stabbing was believed to have happened in a vehicle on the 1200 block of Rosewood Street. Brainerd Police and Crow Wing County Sheriff's deputies located the vehicle involved in the stabbing north of Brainerd.
Bolduc said Bock and Dubois were acquainted with each other.
"It's sounds like it was a domestic type situation," Bolduc said. "The two males had some type of relationship with the same female."
No other suspects are being sought, police said, but the incident is still under investigation.
Dubois' criminal history dating back to 2003 includes charges for DWI in Carlton and Cass counties; disorderly conduct, theft, careless driving, driving with no proof of insurance, underage consumption and driving after license cancellation in Crow Wing County and felony damage to property in Mille Lacs County.
