SUNBURY, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY - Two days after a stabbing in Northumberland County, police now say they've caught the man responsible.

Jorge Reyes-Perez was arrested Thursday night in connection with an attack Christmas morning in Sunbury. Investigators say Perez stabbed Rafeal Sanchez once in the back as he left a restaurant near Sixth and Market Streets.

Cops think the two men got into an argument right before the stabbing. Perez faces charges of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.

Perez is locked-up on $100,000 bail in Northumberland County.
