Two elderly men who are roommates stabbed each other early Monday at a facility in the West Side Austin neighborhood.

The roommates got into an argument at the facility in the 5100 block of West Jackson at 4:12 a.m., according to Chicago Police. One of the men pulled out a knife and they stabbed each other.

An 82-year-old man suffered a puncture wound and was taken to Stroger Hospital in serious condition, police said.
