One man, Jason Babylon, 34, Junction City has been arrested in the case on suspicion of four counts of Aggravated Battery. Brown said his bond was set at $50,000 by a Geary County District Court Judge.
Brown stated police received a call on the stabbing at 6th and Jackson about 2:25 a.m. Saturday. “Officers responded. One officer happened to be about two blocks away. When he arrived on scene he observed an individual with a knife in his hand. Ordered the individual to drop it, took him into custody. We found that we had four victims there that had been stabbed.”
On the cause of the incident Brown stated, “It was apparently some type of verbal altercation between Mr. Babylon and a couple of females. It escalated with some friends of the females, and apparently a fight ensued, and apparently Mr. Babylon at some point during this fight produced a knife and ended up stabbing these four individuals.”
