The unnamed victim was said to have been raising the pig with his roommates at their residence in Winfield when it went missing two weeks ago, the New York Daily News reports.
He was said to have approached the suspect, Joshua Alan Finke to find out if he had knowledge of the animals whereabouts knowing that Finke did not support the swine-raising idea. In no time the situation descended to shouting and later into physical combat before Finke reportedly stabbed his Missouri neighbour once at the back of the head and twenty two times in his back.
The police was called in and Finke was subsequently arrested, and the victim is receiving treatment from his wounds.
He is being held at the Lincoln county jail with his cash-only bond set at $100,000.
The pig has not yet been found.
