A Sunday night stabbing at a Roxbury intersection left one person with life-threatening injuries, according to police. Officers were called just before 11 p.m. to Roxbury Street and Washington Street, where they found a victim suffering from stab wounds. The person was transported to a local hospital as investigators remained at the scene late into the night.

Police details

According to Boston 25 News, officers responded around 10:51 p.m. Sunday after a report of a person stabbed at Roxbury Street and Washington Street. The outlet reports that no arrests have been made and that the investigation remains ongoing.

Neighborhood context

The stabbing comes amid a string of recent incidents along Washington Street. Just last Thursday, a report detailed a knife‑wielding pair shoplifting episode at a Snipes location that prompted District B‑2 detectives to circulate surveillance images. That case and other recent neighborhood reports have featured detectives repeatedly asking the public for footage or tips. Police say videos and photos can be crucial pieces of evidence as investigators work to reconstruct what happened during late-night incidents.

How to help

The Boston Police Department is asking anyone with information about Sunday night's stabbing to contact the Homicide Unit at (617) 343‑4470 or to submit an anonymous tip via the Boston Police Crime Stoppers page. The Crime Stoppers portal explains how to call, text “TIP” to 27463, or upload photos and video for investigators.
