Three men were stabbed in a southwest Houston parking lot late Friday night after an argument escalated into violence, according to Houston Police. All three victims were taken to the hospital in stable condition, and officers detained one possible suspect at the scene.
Houston Police said South Gessner officers responded to 6200 Gulfton, where they found the three male stabbing victims, who were transported in stable condition. One possible suspect was detained, according to a statement posted by Houston Police
on X. The department did not immediately release additional details about the circumstances of the attack in that post.
According to FOX 26 Houston, the incident was reported around 8:40 p.m. Friday on Gulfton Street near I-69 and Hillcroft Avenue. The station reported that the three victims were in a parking lot when two other people approached them, and an argument broke out between the group before one of the suspects stabbed the victims.
Victims Expected to Recover

Houston Police have not clarified which status currently stands.
