Police: Two Men Stabbed Outside Party On East Side

Two men who were in the front yard of an East Side home during a party were stabbed several times by a group of men who fled the scene, police said

Shortly before midnight Wednesday, officers were dispatched to the 11600 block of Edward James Avenue, where they say a 40-year-old man and a 38-year-old man were approached by three men who began fighting with them.

Police said the two men at the house suffered several stab wounds to their upper torsos and were taken to a hospital where they were treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

This case is not considered to be gang-related, and Crimes Against Persons continues to investigate.
