Two people were taken into custody after a stabbing in north Nashville.

Officials with Metro Nashville Police said a man got into an argument with his niece's boyfriend at a home on Simpkins Street.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m. Thursday, the fight escalated when the uncle allegedly stabbed the boyfriend, cutting him on the face and chest.

Neither of their identities was known.
