A second suspect wanted in connection with a stabbing in Five Points last month has been arrested.

Jeremy Alan Asbill, 27, turned himself in to Columbia Police Department investigators early Wednesday, according to a department news release. He has been charged with attempted murder, and breach of peace of a high and aggravated nature.

The police department’s fugitive team, the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division and the U.S. Marshal's Service worked to determine his whereabouts.

Co-defendant Christopher Eugene Fuller, 26, turned himself in to Columbia Police investigators in October. He is charged with breach of peace of a high and aggravated nature.

Police suspect Asbill was primary aggressor in an Oct. 13 incident. He and Fuller are accused of fighting with several people at 727 Harden St. The victim, who was stabbed several times in the upper and lower body when he tried to break up the fight, has since been treated for his injuries and released from the hospital, Police Chief Skip Holbrook said in a news release last month.
