On Thursday, November 29th, 2012 at 8:44 PM Duluth Police responded to a male being stabbed in the #10 block of North 65th Avenue West. Officers located a 54 year old male victim with a stab wound to his stomach.
Initial investigation revealed the victim had confronted a juvenile male who was driving a snowmobile in the alley behind his house. A struggle ensued and friends of the juvenile came out of a nearby garage. The victim swung an object at the juveniles, possibly striking one of them. One of the juveniles then pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the stomach.
The victim was transported to Essentia St. Mary's Hospital to treat his injury. He is in stable condition. A 17 year old juvenile male was taken into custody and transported to the Arrowhead Juvenile Center pending formal charges of 2nd Degree Assault.
