Once Daniels was taken into custody, officers worked to treat the victim, who they said had been stabbed multiple times.
Court documents allege that the victim was talking with Daniels about the condition of his apartment and said that it needed to be cleaned.
Without saying anything, Daniels went to a display of “bayonet-style knives” on the wall, got one, and began stabbing the victim, according to court documents.
Police said Daniels then turned his attention to a witness who was able to get away and call 911.
As of Monday, the victim has been released from the hospital, police said.
Daniels is booked in the Preble County Jail on charges of attempted murder, felonious assault, and resisting arrest.
