Police said a man and woman got into an argument over the placement of eggs. Another family member -- a 36-year-old Battle Creek man -- intervened and pulled a knife, cutting one of them “multiple times.”

Authorities were able to convince the man to drop the knife and he was arrested at the scene. He was booked into the Calhoun County Jail for aggravated assault. He has not been identified.

The victim was treated on scene for some minor lacerations and is expected to make a full recovery.

No one else was injured during the incident and children had not yet arrived for the event.
