The tenant found her boyfriend with a bedmate at Charles Street and Harrison Avenue shortly after 8 a.m. Thursday, responders said.
They got into it, leaving the tenant with a slight injury and the sidepiece gone.
Lodi Police Sgt. Dominic Miller confirmed that "a random incident turned physical" but said there wasn't much more to it. The two tangled, with the victim sustaining a superficial cut and the visitor fleeing, he said.
There wasn't a stabbing, as some on social media had claimed.
The victim refused medical attention and didn't cooperate with the responding officers, the sergeant said, thanking Garfield police for their assistance.So, for them, it ended there.
Where that left the man was anybody's guess.
