Police arrested a 47-year-old Dallas man who is accused of stabbing his disabled neighbor with a screwdriver Friday night.

Esau Gardner Jr. of Dallas was booked into Lew Sterrett Justice Center on one count of injury to the disabled, a class-three felony. A magistrate set bail at $100,000.

According to a police report, the neighbor, William Cantrell, 58, said Gardner came to his apartment in the 9700 block of Shepherd Road about 8:20 p.m. Friday to ask for money to buy a beer. He said that when he refused, Gardner grabbed a screwdriver and ran toward him. Cantrell said he fled to his bedroom, where he hit Gardner in the head with a metal chain and then sustained a 12-inch cut to his abdomen during the scuffle.

Both men were treated at the scene by Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedics. Cantrell told police he has pancreatic cancer and a heart condition.
