A 54-year-old man has been charged with stabbing another man during a robbery Monday in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

Brian McKee, of the Back of the Yards neighborhood, was charged with a felony count of armed robbery with a deadly weapon, according to Chicago Police.

McKee tried to rob a 57-year-old man at 8:17 a.m. in the 3600 block of South Wabash, police said. The older man was taken to Mercy Hospital to be treated for minor cuts to his hands and McKee was taken into custody and transported to Provident Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

McKee was denied bail at a hearing Tuesday, according to court records.
