The suspect was arrested after a SWAT standoff in a nearby residence early Sunday morning.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A man is recovering after an early Sunday morning stabbing in Old Sacramento. 

According to the Sacramento Police Department, the stabbing happened around 1:58 a.m. Sunday in the 1000 block of 2nd Street. The victim was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
