Police in the US have arrested a man in Texas who was accused of stabbing a restaurant manager with a pocket knife after being told he needed to wear a mask.

The stabbing happened in March at a Jack In The Box restaurant in League City, just southeast of Houston. Authorities had issued an arrest warrant for James Schulz Jr shortly after the stabbing occurred but he was not taken into custody until this week, police said.
