At 2:25 a.m. on Saturday, March 9, The Fargo Police Department responded to a report of a male with visible injuries and blood on his clothing in the 600 block of NP Ave. When officers arrived, it was determined the victim had been stabbed multiple times and was transported to a local health care facility to receive treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
