A retired police officer is accused of stabbing his nephew Thursday night during a domestic incident in downtown Charleston.
Harold N. Brown, 47, of Hanahan, told police that he was at his uncle's girlfriend's home on Ashley Avenue about 11 p.m., and there was an argument, a police report said.
It said Brown asked his uncle to leave, but the uncle went into the kitchen and returned with a knife.
Brown was stabbed in the right shoulder near the base of the neck, the report said. Both men required medical treatment, but their injuries were not life-threatening, police said.
Brown was out of the hospital Friday and said he was OK.
Peter James Meggett, 63, of Ladson, is charged with assault and battery with intent to kill.
On the report, his business address was listed as "retired police."
Brown said Meggett had been in the Marine Corps, during which time he served as a police officer at Charleston Naval Weapons Station in Goose Creek.
Meggett remained at the Charleston County Detention Center on Friday night. His bond is $20,000.
