2 injured in central El Paso stabbing Friday night

EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- Two people were stabbed Friday night near the Opportunity Center for the Homeless, according to police.

That's in south-central El Paso at the 1200 block of Myrtle Avenue. 

An ABC-7 crew watched a man being taken into custody at the scene of the incident.

Witnesses told ABC-7 that there was a crowd of people gathered outside of the Opportunity Center, leading to a fight breaking out. They say this is when they believe the stabbing happened. 

Police say the two people stabbed were taken to the hospital.

We're working to find out more about the victims, as well as the suspect. We'll keep you updated on-air and online at KVIA.com as we get that information into our newsroom.
