A 56-year-old man was stabbed to death and the alleged assailant seriously wounded in a fight Sunday at Navy Pier.

The man who died had been arguing with a 64-year-old man who he knew about 5:30 p.m. near the beer garden at Navy Pier, 600 E. Grand Ave., when the older man pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the victim multiple times, Chicago police said.

The victim suffered multiple cuts to his upper body and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The attacker also suffered a cut to his chest. He was taken into custody and taken to the same hospital in serious condition, police said.

The beer garden was closed, and it was cordoned off by barricades and police tape hours after the incident.

Area 3 detectives are investigating.
