A father and son were hospitalized last night after a fight involving a knife at a Natick housing complex for seniors, Natick police said.
Lieutenant Steven J. Pagliarulo said he did not know what charges would be filed. He said neither man appeared to have sustained life-threatening injuries.
Shirley Price, a resident of the Cedar Avenue complex, said she and Dan McElhinney, 65, had returned after an evening at the American Legion club bar and found McElhinney's son, 39-year-old Dennis McElhinney, inside his father's apartment.
She said Dennis McElhinney was angry, armed with a knife, and tried to stab his father in the eye and heart.
She said Dan McElhinney, who already has one glass eye, wrestled the knife from his son and was cut in the fight.
"He was bloody -- bloody from head to toe," she said.
