SPRINGFIELD

— At least two men were stabbed Sunday morning, one seriously, in what appeared to be a dispute between two groups of men in Stearns Square.

Police said one victim was found in a parking lot across Worthington Street from the Fat Cat Bar and Grill at 1:18 a.m. He had had apparently been stabbed once in the back of the neck, and twice to the back. That victim was transported from the scene by ambulance. His condition is not known at this time.

A second victim was seen walking away from the area in the company of two other men. Police stopped the injured man and ordered an ambulance to the Stearns Square area. He, too, was transported to the Baystate Medical Center.

Officers were able to secure security video of the area and are now analyzing the evidence. Initial information indicates that two groups of males were fighting in the Stearns Sqaure area when the stabbings occurred.

One of the victims told police he had been jumped by four or five men, none of whom he could identify.

This is a developing story and additional information will be published as it becomes available.
