One man is recovering in hospital and another is facing criminal charges after a drunken argument at a Coquitlam house party turned violent early Saturday morning.

The incident took place in the 1000-block of Walls Avenue, where a disagreement between several people lead to one man getting stabbed. He was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital with non-life threatening injuries and police arrested one suspect.

"There was an argument between a few people and that resulted with a person being stabbed," said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung. "We arrested one suspect and that person was remanded in custody over the weekend."

Chung added that the suspect was expected to be brought before a judge Monday morning and is facing charges of assault causing bodily harm.
