CHICAGO (STMW/CBS) - A man was stabbed during a fight with two suspects on a Lake View community street early Saturday.
The 24-year-old victim was walking in the 900 block of West Belmont Ave. about 3:30 am. when two male suspects approached him from behind and a fight erupted, according to police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak.
During the brawl, the suspects stabbed the man in the back and fled the scene, she said.
The man was taken in good condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center, according to Kubiak, who said as of 9:30 a.m., no arrests have been made.
