Unalaska, AK – A Mississippi man was arrested after allegedly attacking a co-worker with a knife outside of the UniSea Sports Bar on Thursday night.

A Public Safety Department officer arrested 37-year-old Rickey Barrett and charged him with third degree assault with a weapon after he saw Barrett drawing back a knife, apparently about to stab Shawn Mueller, a co-worker of Barrett's according to the report. Barrett was handcuffed after a brief struggle.

Mueller told officers he had been sucker-punched by Barrett as he left the bar, and that Barrett had knocked him down and pointed the knife in his face, giving him a small cut. Barrett was intoxicated at the time, according to the police report.
