Bond was set at $200,000 Tuesday for a man charged with stabbing three people during a domestic fight Sunday morning in the South Side Chatham neighborhood.

Malik McKee, 20, faces three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and one count of aggravated battery, according to Chicago Police.

The attack happened a few minutes after 10 a.m. near McKee’s home in the 700 block of East 91st Street, police said. McKee cut a 37-year-old man on the lip, and a 26-year-old man on the right hand. A 22-year-old woman was also cut on the right hand.

The older man and the woman were taken to Jackson Park Hospital in good condition, police said. The younger man was taken to Trinity Hospital in good condition.

The incident stemmed from an argument between McKee and the 37-year-old, police said.

McKee was ordered jailed on a $200,000 bond on Tuesday, according to the Cook County sheriff’s office. His next court date is Oct. 24.
