CLAIRTON, Pa. — A man is in critical condition after being cut by razor blades Friday night in Clairton.

The Allegheny County Police Department says the incident happened around 10 p.m. in the 2400 block of Lincoln Avenue, and first responders found a man stabbed in the neck.

He was taken to an area hospital and is in critical condition.

The victim identified Vance Gibson, 58, as the man who attacked him.

Clairton Police found him on Waddell Avenue wearing a black jacket with fresh and wet blood on it.

He was detained and interviewed at the Clariton Police Station. Court documents said Gibson told police the victim owed him $50 from a crack sale. The two of them got into a fight over the money and Gibson said he attacked the victim with razor blades that were in his pocket to stop him from punching.

Gibson faces charges of attempted homicide and aggravated assault.
