A 42-year-old man was arrested in Desert Hot Springs Thursday after police say he tried to stab a guy multiple times.

Travis Vargas and a woman were walking by a bus stop Thursday morning at Palm Drive and Buena Vista Avenue when a man at the stop said something to the woman. Vargas then attempted to stab the man several times, according to the Desert Sun.

The victim was taken to the hospital with a stab wound to his arm, but his injuries are not life threatening.

Vargas was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and being under the influence of controlled substances.
