Police Say Debate Escalates To Brawl, Ends In Knifing

MANSFIELD TOWNSHIP, N.J. -- An argument between two friends over which one had the hairiest buttocks escalated into a brawl that ended when one man slashed the other.

Emmanuel Nieves, 23, of Liberty Township, and Erik Saporito, 21, of Independence Township, were talking with some other friends at a Mansfield Township apartment complex when the fight began early Wednesday.

Nieves soon pulled out a knife and slashed Saporito's face and ear, authorities said. Saporito was taken to Hackettstown Community Hospital, where he was treated and released.

Nieves was arrested later that morning at his home and charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, weapons offenses and criminal mischief. He was being held Friday on $25,000 bail at the Warren County Jail.
