According to investigators, a man in his 20s got into a verbal altercation with an unknown male suspect at approximately 3:30 a.m. on Saturday near Duncan and Pearl streets.

Police say the suspect was armed with a knife and when the victim attempted to flee, he was tackled by a second unknown male and was stabbed multiple times by the first suspect.
