A man has been rushed to the hospital after being stabbed Sunday night in Winthrop, Massachusetts, police said.

Winthrop police officers responded to Shirley Street between Crystal Cove and Moore streets just before 8 p.m. and found a man suffering from a stab wound. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with severe injuries. There was no update on his condition later Sunday night.

An NBC10 Boston crew on scene observed a pool of blood in front of a Shirley Street building, and a trail of blood droplets that ran a few blocks along the street.

Shirley Street between Crystal Cove and Moore streets was blocked off to accommodate the on-scene investigation, and there is no bus service to the Point Shirley area, police said. People are being asked to avoid the area.

Residents were told to expect a significant police presence in the area for the next several hours.

Police did not immediately provide any other information, including a possible suspect or motive in the stabbing, but said they do not believe there is any danger to the public.

An investigation remains active and ongoing by Winthrop police and Massachusetts State Police.
