According to Greensburg police, it all started when Dennis Trice was getting onto Route 30 from an exit ramp.

Baum told police Trice cut him off, so he got mad and passed the Kia Trice was driving.

But Trice says when he pulled out, he noticed a Jeep pull in front of him and slam on the brakes.

Trice says the driver seemed to be irate and slammed on his breaks again, almost causing a collision.

As Trice continued along East Pittsburgh Street, he told police he followed the driver into the grocery store parking lot, got out of his car and confronted Baum.

Baum told police he's an employee at the Shop N Save and was on his way to work, so when he got out of his car the two exchanged words.

According to the police paperwork, the two reported conflicting stories, but Trice was stabbed by Baum and drove himself to the emergency room.
