A half dozen stabbings were reported in San Francisco, some within blocks and hours of each other, over the weekend, police said Monday.

Three stabbings were reported in the Tenderloin Friday night alone, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

In the first, a 29-year-old man was stabbed around 8:30 by a man wielding a curved machete as he walked toward the elevator leading down to the Civic Center BART station, police said.

The stabbed man was taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

In the second, a 63-year-old man walking around Ellis and Leavenworth streets bumped into a 25-year-old man who then stabbed him, police said. The man drove himself to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

In the third, a 38-year-old man was stabbed in the upper back by a female acquaintance just one block to the east at Ellis and Jones streets, police said.

Other stabbings were reported throughout the weekend in several neighborhoods, including Bayview and the Haight, but none were life-threatening, police said.
