Two Stabbed During Fight in Huntington

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Two people have been taken to the hospital after a reported stabbing in Huntington.

The incident happened outside of an apartment building in the 900-block of 5th Avenue about 1:30 Monday afternoon.

Huntington Police are not releasing much information at this time, but witnesses say a man and woman were walking down 5th Avenue with open containers of alcohol.

Witnesses say that a man outside the apartment complex told to the two that they needed to move on, and weren't allowed to have open containers outside of the complex. Witnesses say that's when the two started beating up the man and got him down on the ground.

During the fight, police say the man pulled out a knife, stabbing the man in the side and the woman in the hand.

Both were taken to the hospital.
