AUSTIN (KXAN) — Police and paramedics were sent to downtown Austin after a man was stabbed Wednesday morning.

Officers said the incident happened in an alley near East Fourth Street and Trinity Street around 11 a.m.

The victim, a man thought to be in his 30s, was found with a stab wound in the chest, according to Austin-Travis County EMS and an officer on scene.

“Because the injuries the victim had he wasn’t able to converse with us or tell us anything about the suspect, or his name or anything,” said APD Corporal Chris Carlisle.

He was taken to the Dell Seton Medical Center with serious injuries described as potentially life-threatening, ATC EMS said.
