On Thursday December 2, 2010 at approximately 11:35 p.m., a Portland Police officer was flagged down at Northwest 3rd and Davis on the report of three people stabbed. Additional officers arrived in the area and began speaking to the victims and witnesses. Officers learned that the three victims, all adult males, were involved in an argument with the suspect inside an area bar. The argument spilled out onto the sidewalk where the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the three victims. The victims suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds and were transported to an area hospital.

The suspect, an adult male, was located a few blocks away and was taken into custody without incident. Officers learned that the suspect and victims are all acquaintances. The stabbing is not gang related.

Detectives are still conducting interviews at this time and no charges have yet been filed.

Additional information will be released as it becomes available.
