Two people were seriously injured Wednesday night in a knife attack near the intersection of S. 27th Street and W. Greenfield Avenue, according to Milwaukee police. The victims, a 43-year-old and a 30-year-old, were taken to a local hospital with serious injuries as officers spread through the neighborhood searching for the attacker.
