Then at around 2:30 a.m., a patrol unit came upon three males who had been stabbed in the area of the Parkdale housing development off Dartmouth Street. Carola said detectives are also investigating that case, and all three victims are expected to recover.

On July 3, an attempted robbery in the Near North End sent four people to the hospital. According to ABC6, a group of four adult males were confronted by a group of suspects around midnight in the area of the intersection of Deane Street and North Front Street.

A struggle ensued, and the victims sustained injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening.

That incident also remains under investigation.
