Two men were stabbed Sunday evening in the Central Square area of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Police said the stabbings happened about a block apart — one on Massachusetts Avenue and the other on Western Avenue. Officers responded just after 8 p.m.
Both victims are in their 20s, police said, and were believed to be together when they were stabbed following an altercation with a group of two or three males in the area of McElroy Park.
Both of the victims are unhoused men, police said. One is in critical condition and another is now stable, police said.
