groups.
During a fight in a restroom, McNeil allegedly stabbed a man. The victim
suffered a stab wound to the chest and a wound to the abdomen. At the same

stabbed another man. That victim suffered a stab wound to the left side of his
chest that lacerated his lung. Both victims survived.
Both men were indicted on charges
including aggravated assault,
possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon.
