Man stabbed in attack

WARREN

A 32-year-old city man was treated at Trumbull Memorial Hospital for a “severe laceration,” including stab wounds to his hands, arms and thigh, in a 2:30 a.m. attack Wednesday on York Street Northwest.

The man said he was walking on York near West Market, when four males in masks pulled up in a smaller black sport utility vehicle. Three got out and attacked him. One had a knife.

He pushed them off as he ran away. The victim said he didn’t know why he was targeted, saying it might have been an attempted robbery. A passer-by picked him up as he walked and gave him a ride to the hospital.
