Spokane police are looking for a man suspected of stabbing another man in North Spokane on Tuesday night. Following the stabbing, Ezra L. Bedeski, 36, ran from the area near Wellesley Avenue and Crestline Street around 9:20p.m., a news release from the Spokane Police Department said. Bedeski was still armed. Police attempted to track Bedeski with a police dog, but were unsuccessful. The 26-year-old victim was taken to an area hospital after being stabbed in the neck. His name was not released. The fight appears to have been over a woman: Bedeski is the former boyfriend of the victim’s girlfriend, the release said. Police said they have probable cause to arrest Bedeski for first-degree assault. Anyone with information on his location is asked to call 911.
