A man is facing felony assault with a weapon charges after he allegedly stabbed a man four times at 405 Bridge Street in Bigfork on May 28.

Christian James Krager, 23, was released on bond from Flathead County Detention Center on June 2.

According to court documents, deputies responded to the crime scene at 1:30 a.m. after they received the report of a disturbance involving a weapon.

A deputy arrived to see a man on the ground with a wound on his leg.

One witness told investigators that Krager had come up behind the victim and attacked him. She said Krager allegedly took the victim to the ground, pulled out a knife, and stabbed him.

Another witness said Krager had come out of the shadows and “jumped” the victim.

Krager allegedly admitted that he had stabbed the man because he was upset with him.

At the hospital the victim told police Krager had attacked him without warning.

The deputy found that the victim had injuries on his face, arm and knees in addition to two stab wounds to the abdomen and two stabs wounds to the leg.

Krager will be arraigned by Flathead District Judge Robert Allison on June 23.
