A man was arrested for stabbing another man in Huntington.

The attack happened during a road rage incident Tuesday afternoon, Suffolk police say.

Jayson Heitner, 26, of Huntington, was taken into custody around 3:30 p.m. on West Neck Road and Old Hickory Lane.

Police tell News 12 Heitner stabbed the 60-year-old victim with a box cutter and bit his fingers.

The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Heitner appeared in court Tuesday, and his attorney Chase Brown said there was more to the incident than what was described.

"There is a very, very clear case of self defense here," Brown said.

Brown said that the prosecutor neglected to say that the complainant had a knife.

A judge set bail for Heitner at $75,000 cash.

His next court date is Nov. 24.
