The Bar Lucca chef was arrested a block from the restaurant in the late afternoon hours, and a knife was recovered, Whitemarsh Police Chief Christopher Ward tells Daily Voice.
The victim was taken to Lankanau Hospital with stab wounds considered non-life-threatening, Ward said. The chef was expected to be "charged appropriately," Ward added.
Brian Pieri, the owner of the East Hector Street bar, said only that there was an altercation between two staff members, and thanked the Whitemarsh police for "swift and incredible" handling of the situation.
"Our remaining energy will be spent focusing on the staff member who was unfortunately involved, unwillingly in the altercation," Pieri said. "I’m very grateful for the incredible work by the WM police department and Chef Will and his team. Thank you to all those who reached out to be supportive."
