A Texas man was arrested after police say he attacked another man with a machete-type knife during a traffic quarrel.
Michael Martin Ochwat, 66, was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the New Braunfels Police Department wrote on Facebook.
Police responded on Monday around noon to a report of a stabbing incident near the intersection of North Market Avenue and East San Antonio Street in New Braunfels.

When officers arrived, they found a 55-year-old male victim who had suffered a slash wound to his upper body.
Paramedics were called to the scene and provided immediate medical attention before transporting the victim to a hospital in serious but stable condition. The victim has since been released from the hospital.
The preliminary investigation indicates the victim was involved in a dispute with another driver as they were both in their vehicles. Both drivers exited their vehicles when the suspect, who has since been identified as Ochwat, confronted the victim with a machete-type knife.

A brush fire ignited underneath the X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia Thursday.
Los Angeles County fire crews responded to the 26100 block of Magic Mountain Parkway around 12:21 p.m.
Footage from the scene showed a palm tree was engulfed in flames underneath the coaster on the west side of the park.
The fire eventually spread to other trees and nearby brush, burning about half an acre and blanketing the area in smoke, according to video news service Key News Network.
Fire crews worked quickly to stop the blaze from threatening nearby attractions or structures.
Reports indicated that no evacuations were issued at the park and no injuries were sustained by any guests or firefighting personnel.
Authorities remained at the scene to monitor for additional hotspots. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
