An 18-year-old male was taken to The Queen's Medical Center in serious condition but has since improved to stable condition after suffering multiple stab wounds during an altercation early this morning, police and Emergency Services spokesman Bryan Cheplic said.

The stabbing occurred at about 12:30 a.m. near Olive and south Kamehameha in Wahiawa.

Police arrested Tahoma James Ramage, 30, on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder.

According to police, Ramage and the complainant were involved in an argument that escalated and Ramage allegedly stabbed the teen several times.
