They found the 43-year-old victim lying on the ground with a laceration to his neck and left shoulder, according to the affidavit of probable cause obtained by BreakingAC. A fixed-blade knife was found in the driveway nearby.
Officers rendered immediate aid until emergency medical personnel arrived, police said.
The victim was subsequently airlifted to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus in Atlantic City for treatment.
Multiple witnesses saw the argument and attack, the affidavit states.
Enman then fled in red Dodge pick-up with a flat tire, witnesses told police. He was found sitting in that truck a short distance from the scene, according to the affidavit.
