ST. GEORGE – St. George Police responded to a report of a physical fight in progress around 1:36 p.m. Monday about a block away from the St. George LDS Temple. When Police arrived they found one man had fled the scene after stabbing another man in the face just below the eye.
“There were two men fighting around the area of 300 East 400 South,” Sgt. Sam Despain of the St. George City Police Department said. “During this argument, one of the men produced a small pocket knife, stabbing the other man under the left eye.”
Gold Cross Ambulance was called to the scene and transported the injured man to Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George with non-life threatening injuries, Despain said.
Before officers could arrive, the other man fled the scene and was last seen in the area of the Temple’s Visitor Center. However, officers said they have obtained his information.
“Our officers are currently in the process of tracking that man down,” Despain said. “No one in the public is believed to be in any danger, as this was an argument between these two men.”
This report is based on preliminary information and may not contain the full scope of findings.

Was it a temple worthy stabbing? Was the stabber or the one stabbed temple worthy? We gotta know these kind of things!
that comment was uncalled for, you must not be mormon
No ! Not near the Temple, it can’t be, it is sacred!
your comment was uncalled for, we don’t make fun of your religion or bash the way you worship
With all these stabbings, I think it’s time to pass a “knife / sharp object” control law! This has to be stopped!
A stabbin’ right next to THE LARD’S HOUSE?! Say it aint so!
your comment was uncalled for please respect my religon
Two stabbings in one day? I will use my least favorite new word and say that is cray cray.
you people that are talking about the temple that way, that is sick, grow up some of you idiiots
OK, so you are not Happy. That has been pretty well established. So which one are you? Perhaps Grumpy? How about Dopey? Yes, Dopey. That sounds about right. . .
The reason they keep egging you on is because you keep giving them a reaction
Noooo……say it ain’t sooooo…….not near the bloody temple. This can’t be happening in the supposedly peacefully perfect land of Mormonville. Looks like we mormans just have the same problems as the rest of the world but we just try to suppress that these problems actually happen
I think many people are saying these things because of the way they may have been treated by “the temple worthy” people. Hate towards others only breeds hate right back at ya.
Even the temple worthy are backstabbers
How can this happen in Mayberry?
You people do realize this has nothing to do with the Mormons and that they’re just using the Mormon temple as a geographical reference point, right? I wonder if you’d get all the asinine comments if it happened in or around the Lutheran or Catholic churches. Or maybe DSU science building for all you godless liberal folk?
Science? Godless? Is that what they put in your head? Ignorance is bliss.
What do you mean “you people?”
Sounds like someone could use a crying towel…
I’d rather be lumped in with the “godless liberal folk” crowd then the wannabe Nazi cult crowd the Mormons aspire to be. Just sayin’. If the crime did happen at DSU the asinine comments you speak of would be coming from the Nazi cult crowd (Mormons). Then again maybe they wouldn’t because “godless liberal folk” don’t use “religion” or their stance in a “church” as a excuse to commit crimes of all natures. 🙂
Nor have I ever heard one use their position as an educator or scholar as an excuse to commit crimes. I have heard various Mormons use their position in the church though, John Swallow comes to mind there.
What do YOU mean “You People”
Some of the worst back stabbers I’ve ever met were mormons.
I ditto that feedback!
Major fail of magic undies. Sad.
Look my husband was the man that was stabbed in the face. the knife broke 3 bones in his face he will have to have plastic surgery just to be able to see out of his eye sad to say it was all just a misunderstanding
A misunderstanding? Isn’t that sort of like saying it was “an accident?” There is something wrong, somewhere, when “a misunderstanding” leads to an attempted homicide.
GIMMEABREAK!
LOL! Must have been one hell of a misunderstanding. Looks like attempted murder…
Sounds like your husband is a drug dealer and a drug deal gone bad…or your husband is a Jehovah Witness and got a dose of mormonism…. But as far as a misunderstanding goes LMAO HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. a misunderstanding.? You mean it was spice and not dope
