Investigators said William Plaza, 38, was shoveling a parking spot alongside a neighbor Tuesday evening and began dumping his snow into the spot being shoveled by the other man, the Boston Herald reported Thursday.

"The victim asked the suspect to stop," the police report said. "The suspect responded 'What are you gonna do about it?'"

Police said the pair argued and Plaza retrieved a pair of kitchen knives from his home.

"Someone's going to get stabbed," the report quoted Plaza as saying.

Plaza was arrested and later freed on $300 bail.
