Salisbury man arrested for stabbing another in the back

A Salisbury man is now facing assault charges after he allegedly stabbed a man in the back in Somerset County.

According to court documents obtained by 47 ABC, Greg Ardis arranged to have a sexual encounter with another man through an online ad.

The two apparently met up and went to an abandoned building in Princess Anne before the other man reportedly tried to back out of the encounter.

That’s when court documents say a chase ensued, and Ardis apparently chased the victim in his car, allegedly trying to hit him with his car multiple times.
 
Eventually the chase led to a ditch, in which Ardis caught up to the victim and allegedly stabbed him in the back. Documents say Ardis tried to stab the victim a few more times, but the victim was able to fight him off.

The victim apparently told police they could hear voices coming from nearby, so Ardis left him there.

Reports say the victim was eventually brought to PRMC where he was treated and released.

According to court documents, Ardis first reported the crime as the victim trying to rob him, however he was eventually charged with first and second degree assault and reckless endangerment.
 
Ardis was released on 100,000 dollars bond.
