ST. PAUL, Minn. – St. Paul police say a 28-year-old man is in custody after he cut an 8-year-old boy while he was intoxicated.
Officers were called to an apartment building off University Avenue and Victoria Street just after 8 p.m. on a report of domestic violence. There, they found a boy with a "minor cut to his hand."
The man then barricaded himself into a bedroom for about an hour before surrendering.

St. Paul firefighters treated the boy at the scene.
