A 27-year-old man was slashed in the arm during an assault early Friday, Ypsilanti police said.

The victim told police he was leaving a business at 4 a.m. and was in the 200 block of Pearl Street when he was assaulted by two men, reports said.

Police said the victim apparently knows one of the the assailants, who is now dating the victim's ex-girlfriend. The victim suffered a laceration to the arm and sought medical attention on his own, reports said.

He declined to prosecute and did not give police any additional details about what happened, reports said.
