The next morning around 1 a.m., a 19-year-old man was walking alone at Joseph and David when he was approached by four males and stabbed multiple times. The victim sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Shortly after, a 24-year-old man was approached by four males — one of them wielding a knife — but was able to get away uninjured.
