DOTHAN, Ala. – A Dothan man was arrested for slashing a male acquaintance with a box cutter, leaving the victim with serious injuries.
Tyrese D’Yrell Harper, 22, is charged with first-degree assault.
Dothan Police Lt. Scott Owens said Harper was with an acquaintance at a home in the 900 block of Fountain Street on Sunday.

The victim is in the hospital and is expected to survive, according to Owens.
Harper’s bond was set at $30,000.
