The suspect, Kenric Smith, 34, of Leominster, was located on the second level of Terminal B and arrested for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The Leatherman tool was found on him.
State police said their investigation suggests that the stabbing was solely the result of the dispute between the two men and that the safety of the public and other employees was not threatened.
Smith was arraigned Tuesday in East Boston District Court. No information on bail was released.
