WEST FARGO - West Fargo police arrested three people this morning after a 35-year-old West Fargo man was injured in a stabbing.

Police said the stabbing was initially reported as a disturbance at 101 5th St. E., about 2:11 a.m.

Officers arriving at the scene were told occupants of a red pickup that was leaving the area were responsible for the disturbance.

When police tried to stop the vehicle it sped off.

After a short chase, the pickup crashed into a garage and the driver fled on foot.

He was caught a few blocks away and taken into custody.

Police said the driver, identified as Ty Kramlich, 19, of West Fargo, was arrested for numerous charges, including fleeing in a vehicle, fleeing on foot, minor consuming, hit and run and for outstanding warrants.

A 19-year-old passenger in the pickup, Nicholas Fradet, of West Fargo, and a 17-year-old passenger were arrested for minor consuming, according to police.

Police said further investigation of the disturbance revealed that a 35-year-old male had been stabbed in the hand. The man, who was not identified, was treated at a local hospital and released.
