KENSINGTON, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Police have arrested a man in Brooklyn after investigators say he slashed a father and his adult son with a box cutter.

Police say Marajh and two other men were drinking on Saturday night outside a synagogue in Kensington when they got into a fight with the father and son.

The father and son were both slashed, though the extent of their injuries is not clear.
