Multiple people were wounded in a stabbing Saturday night in the 3700 block near East 140th Street and Bartlett Avenue on Cleveland’s East Side, turning a residential stretch into an active crime scene. Emergency crews responded quickly, treated victims at the scene, and took at least one person to a nearby hospital. Authorities say the circumstances of the attack remain under investigation and have released only limited details so far.

Dispatch Audio and Social Post List Injuries

According to a reel shared by the Cleveland, Ohio Remembrance Page, dispatch information indicates a man and a woman were stabbed. The woman suffered a wound to her back and was taken to the University Hospitals in serious condition, while another man received lacerations. The reel includes what it labels as dispatch audio and scene video, which the poster says came from emergency responders at the scene. Investigators have not yet identified a suspect or outlined a motive.

Another Violent Night on the East Side

The incident lands on a growing list of violent episodes reported across Cleveland’s East Side in recent weeks, including a fatal stabbing at an RTA rapid station earlier this month. News 5 Cleveland covered that transit stabbing, and Cleveland 19 has reported other recent slashing and stabbing incidents that also required hospital treatment. Together, those reports highlight the strain on emergency responders and detectives who are working multiple overnight scenes.

How to Share Tips With Police

Investigators are asking anyone with information or video of the incident to contact the Cleveland Division of Police. The department’s non-emergency number is (216) 621-1234, and 911 should be called for immediate threats, according to the city’s Division of Police page.
