The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers rivalry has reached a new level with a fan being charged for allegedly stabbing two Knicks fans earlier this month.

Jarrett Funke, a 24-year-old from Carmel, Indiana, has been charged with three felonies for his alleged actions at a local brewery during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals: battery by means of a deadly weapon, battery resulting in serious bodily injury, and criminal recklessness committed with a deadly weapon, according to online records.

Funke, according to Fox 59, allegedly got into an altercation, prompting a 911 call, but he had left the establishment. An employee of the brewery called police again, saying Funke had returned - the caller then said Funke stabbed someone in the back.

Police found two individuals with stabbing wounds when they arrived on the scene - one who had been stabbed in the back, and another in the leg.

One of the victims told police that he had "briefly displayed a black folding pocket knife to deter (Funke) but repocketed it, as he had no intention of using it." Funk allegedly knocked a Knicks hat off one of the victims and began cursing at him.
