A fight ensued and the Royal Oak man fled into an apartment, Royal Oak Police Lt. Keith Spencer said in a news release. The man returned a short time later and stabbed the Lathrup Village man in the arm. A third man, who police believe accompanied the 26-year-old, then shot the Royal Oak man in the leg.
