Man Suffers Life-Threatening Wounds In Stabbing Near Boston City Hall

BOSTON (CBS) – A man is suffering from life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed near Boston City Hall early Friday morning.

Officers were called to City Hall Plaza just after 5 a.m. where they found the man with multiple stab wounds in the alley that leads from Court Street to the plaza. Police say the attacker ran off and there have been no arrests.

"The victim was involved in a dispute in the alley way with an unknown male. That unknown male then fled out onto Court Street," Boston Police Superintendent Paul Donovan told reporters.

The 33-year-old man, who has not been identified, was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital and into surgery. Donovan said he is in critical condition.

There's no word yet on a motive. Donovan said they're trying to determine if there's a connection to a homeless shelter nearby.

No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
