A stabbing on a South Boston stretch of Old Colony Avenue left one person fighting for life Friday afternoon, authorities said.
Officers were called to the 200 block of Old Colony Avenue just before 5:45 p.m., and the victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition. First responders stayed at the scene while investigators began a preliminary probe into the assault.
According to NBC10 Boston, police confirmed the victim suffered life-threatening injuries. The outlet reported that no arrests had been made and that no additional details were immediately available.
Old Colony Avenue No Stranger To Police Lights
Old Colony Avenue cuts through South Boston and has seen its share of violent incidents, according to past city police reports. As outlined by the Boston Police Department, officers routinely respond to serious assaults in the neighborhood and at times make arrests at or near that corridor. Those prior cases help explain why fresh reports from the stretch often draw an immediate, highly visible response from emergency crews.
What Authorities Are Saying Now
As of Friday evening, Boston police had not released a suspect description or possible motive. NBC10 Boston reported it had a crew headed to the scene for follow-up coverage. Hoodline will update this story if officials release further information or announce any arrests.
