A 35-year-old man remained in critical condition this afternoon after a stabbing early this morning at the YMCA in Nuuanu.
Police said the victim and a 32-year-old man were arguing when the younger man stabbed the victim with a knife at about 2:40 a.m. at 1441 Pali Highway.
Paramedics treated the victim, who had apparent stab wounds to his head and neck, and took him to a hospital in critical condition, an Emergency Medical Services report said.

“But what we can say is that the health and safety of those we serve is a priority and we have policies and procedures in place to ensure that to the fullest extent possible,” he said.
