On Sunday at 2:11 a.m., Duluth Police responded to Curly’s Bar at 2013 West Superior Street on the report that a 49-year-old Duluth man had been stabbed in the head.

Officers spoke with victim and learned that the stabbing had taken place outside of Curly’s Bar. The victim was transported by Gold Cross Ambulance to St. Luke’s Hospital with deep stab wounds to his head and neck area. Doctors said the injuries were non-life threatening but that a temporal artery was cut and the victim would have bled to death had he not received medical treatment when he did.

The suspect, Derrick Calvin Davis, age 23 of Duluth, was located at a residence in the 2200 block of West 3rd Street. Several witnesses to the stabbing had chased Davis from the scene to that area. Davis was arrested and transported to the St. Louis County Jail where he is being held pending formal charges for Attempted Second Degree Murder and Second Degree Assault.

The victim told officers that he and Davis had a verbal argument outside of Curly’s before the stabbing. Davis admitted to having a verbal dispute with “someone”, but denied that it got physical.
