Charlottesville Police are investigating a stabbing which occurred at 1 a.m. yesterday on the 100 Block of West Main St. on the Downtown Mall, leaving a local resident hospitalized.
Charlottesville Police Lt. Ronnie Roberts said two groups of men started verbally assaulting each other, which escalated into physical violence. A member from one group stabbed a 28-year-old male in the torso. The victim was taken to the University Medical Center for treatment, where his condition yesterday appeared to be stable.
Roberts said police do not yet know what sparked the disagreement and are still searching for the assailant.
Roberts declined to comment further as the investigation is still ongoing, but said, "The assailant groups were known to each other, and this was not a random occurrence."
