A man was reportedly stabbed in Cambridge Sunday night after he tried to stop teenagers from jumping on parked cars.

The teens were throwing their weight against the hoods and tops of the vehicles on Hingham Street, nearby resident Nick Weigel told Boston 25 News.

“I heard some banging noises across the street,” he said. “Jumping up and down as hard as they could, just kind of stomping.”

Weigel called 911. About an hour later, he learned a passerby who tried to stop them allegedly had his arm slashed.

“I called 911, I didn’t go near them,” he said. “I’m glad I didn’t approach them, it’s something I thought about doing.”


Authorities said the suspects had already left the scene by the time police arrived, Boston 25 News reports.

The victim is expected to recover from his injuries, according to officials.

No arrests had been made as of Monday night, the news station reports.
