An Easter egg hunt at a Michigan elementary school went horribly wrong when a fight over the placement of the eggs led to a stabbing, authorities said.

Deputies with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office were called Saturday morning to Valley View Elementary school in Battle Creek amid reports of a violent attack, the sheriff’s office said.

They arrived and found a 36-year-old man wielding a knife, authorities said. Investigators said a male and his “partner” female got into an argument over the placement of the eggs.

“When a family member intervened, the male produced a knife, cutting them multiple times,” a sheriff’s office statement said.

Responding deputies convinced the man to drop the knife, and then he was arrested. The victim had some lacerations but was expected to recover.
