BLOOMINGTON — Bloomington Police officers are investigating an incident of a man who was stabbed in the abdomen just an hour into the new year.
Officers were alerted to the stabbing at 1:25 a.m. Sunday to the 200 block of South College Avenue.
Upon arrival, police found a 32-year-old man with a “significant injury” consistent with a knife wound in his abdomen.
The man was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where he underwent surgery. But before he was taken into surgery he was able to tell police he had interacted with the unknown male inside a nearby bar. He said when he left the bar, the man approached him in the alley and stabbed him with a knife, and then ran from the scene.
The victim was able to walk back toward College Avenue where he asked a bystander to call 911.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Bloomington Police Department at 812-339-4477.
