A man is expected to recover after being stabbed in the chest early Thursday on Holloway Court in Cincinnati's Evanston neighborhood, according to police. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries and is in stable condition. Officers detained a man at the scene, and that person was being questioned at District 2 police headquarters, police said.
Police response and investigation
Shortly after midnight, officers were called to Holloway Court, where FOX19 cameras captured police handcuffing a person at the scene. The station reports that Cincinnati police confirmed the victim was taken to UCMC and remains in stable condition while detectives interview the person who was detained. Investigators have not released a possible motive and continue to describe the case as an active investigation.
How this fits into local trends
A neighborhood report from the Cincinnati Police Department shows an increase in aggravated-assault counts earlier this year compared with a three-year average, offering local context for violent incidents in Evanston. The report is part of the department's regular neighborhood analysis for the area.
What police are asking
Police did not immediately release the names of the victim or the person detained, FOX19 reported. Detectives are urging anyone with information to contact Cincinnati police. District 2 investigators are handling the case and continue to gather witness statements as the probe moves forward.
