A man was hospitalized Saturday after being stabbed in Old Town Chinatown, police said.

Portland police say they responded to a reported stabbing at Northwest 6th Avenue and Northwest Irving Street at 5:27 p.m. Saturday. They found an adult male victim, whom they did not identify. He was taken to a local hospital.

Police said they believed the man had been involved in what they characterized as a disturbance near Northwest Hoyt St and Northwest Broadway. The intersection is outside the Bud Clark Commons, a housing project for homeless people. Police said the man had run north on Broadway past the Transition Projects, then turned east toward the Greyhound station.

Officers searched the area but did not find a suspect.

Police said they do not believe there is an immediate danger to the public.
