SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Police have arrested a suspect in a fatal stabbing at a Salem tavern.

Officers responding to the fight late Monday night at the 50 West Tavern found bystanders trying to help 24-year-old Christopher Lindsay. He was taken to a Salem hospital where he died.

Police say Lindsay and another person were involved in a fight when another man approached and stabbed him. The suspect fled on a motorcycle. A Marion County sheriff’s deputy located the suspect early Tuesday, and Salem detectives arrested 32-year-old Brent W. Phillips of Salem on a manslaughter charge.
