The two men were drinking and got into an argument followed by a fistfight during which the older man stabbed the younger one, police were told.
Officers were sent to the home, but the victim was uncooperative but eventually agreed to go to Hawaii Medical Center West where he was listed in serious but stable condition up his arrival, police said. The older man was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault.
