At least two men are fighting for their lives after being stabbed during a fight at the Town Common in the Whitinsville section of Northbridge, Massachusetts, state police say.

Sky ranger capturing the scene as police and firefighters responded to the incident sometime after 9 p.m. Church and Park Streets were roped off with red crime scene tape as investigators processed evidence all night until clearing and reopening the road around 6 a.m.

There appears to have been an altercation involving several people on bikes. A weapon was found on scene.

A man who has owned a barbershop on this street for 36 years says a nearby park can be a problem area in town.

“They seem to always congregate in the park and sleep there or whatever but the police never really -- there’s not a whole lot that goes on around here. I mean we are a country bumpkin town.”

Multiple ambulances and police cruisers responded to the incident.

NBC10 Boston will have more information as this story develops.
