Three men were arrested in Chennai for trying to kill a 23-year-old delivery worker named Parthiban.
The attack happened in the Velachery area on Sunday.
The police say the fight was because of an old argument, not a random attack.
Parthiban is in the hospital but is stable.
The three men arrested are Nandha, Vishnu, and Sundar.
The BJP party says this shows there is a problem with safety in Tamil Nadu, but the DMK party says it's just a personal fight and not a big issue.
The police are still checking if more people were involved.
