One person is dead after an early Monday morning stabbing at Busch Stadium during an altercation between two third-party contractors who were reportedly cleaning up after Sunday's Dodgers-Cardinals game.

According to St. Louis police, just after 2:40 a.m., they were dispatched to a call for a "cutting" incident at the ballpark.

Upon arriving on the scene, cops found Arrin Jones, 27 of Riverview, Missouri, had been fatally wounded. The 65-year-old male remained at the scene after the stabbing, police reported. The Cardinals are calling this an "isolated altercation."

St. Louis police spokesman Mitch McCoy said this incident "could have happened anywhere, but what happened tonight was a dispute between two people. Unfortunately, it happened at a treasured St. Louis staple."
