The Boone County prosecuting attorney filed charges Thursday against a Columbia man accused of stabbing his brother in the leg.

Steven Swanson, 36, is charged with first-degree domestic assault causing serious physical injury and armed criminal action in connection to the Wednesday stabbing.

A probable cause statement alleges that Swanson was in a car arguing with someone before stabbing them in the right leg.

The statement says the victim identified Swanson as a brother.

The statement alleges that Swanson ran away after the stabbing but was taken into custody with a knife in his possession.

Boone County Jail records show Swanson was booked into the jail around 7:15 p.m. Wednesday.

He is being held at the jail without bond.
