The witnesses described seeing two vehicles associated with the incident:

Shortly after midnight, on Aug. 18, officers were dispatched to Twin Cities Community Hospital where hospital staff was treating a 16-year old stabbing victim.

The victim had non-life threatening stab wounds to his wrist, arm, and back. The victim told officers that he was assaulted by two to three Hispanic males while he was standing in front of his home along the 3100 block of Pine Street. The victim told officers he did not know the attackers and did not feel he could identify them if seen again. However, the victim believed the suspects were driving a “boxy, four door, dark brown Honda or Acura.”
