Two people were arrested Friday after a man and a woman were stabbed during a dispute stemming from a stolen cellphone, police said.

Miami Police said the incident took place just before 8 a.m. near Northeast 3rd Court and 79th Street in the Little River area.

According to police, officers were called to the scene after reports of a shooting but found the two victims - a male and female who are both in their 20s - suffering from stab wounds.

Both victims were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center, where their conditions were not released.

According to police, the couple allegedly hit a person with their car. That person later stabbed both victims, according to police, and was taken into custody.

Police said in an arrest report that the victims were driving home when they spotted a black Nissan Sentra that belonged to 38-year-old Larry March, who was accompanied by 38-year-old Jimmy Pierre.

The report said one of the victims had a problem with March over a cellphone that was taken.

As one of the victims stepped out of their car and approached the two suspects, an argument unfolded, and according to the police report, March pulled out a gun and fired it twice in the air.

Pierre approached the passenger side and began swinging a knife, stabbing one of the victims, the report said. Both victims were ultimately stabbed before they were taken to the hospital. They’re expected to make a full recovery.

Surveillance video, though difficult to see, shows one man jumping over the hood of the car, trying to get away from another man who then casually walks away. The two people who were stabbed can also be seen walking away.

March faces charges of attempted felony murder and burglary/assault, and Pierre faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Footage from the scene showed a sedan resting against a building with what appeared to be a broken windshield. What appeared to be blood was splattered on the wall of the building and nearby sidewalk.
