Pittsburgh police are investigating an early morning stabbing on the city’s North Shore.
Pittsburgh Public Safety says the investigation started after Pennsylvania State Police contacted Zone 1 around 2 a.m. after troopers responded to a Rankin apartment complex for a report of a man stabbed.
Troopers were requesting Pittsburgh police search for a possible crime scene in the 200 block of North Shore Drive because the victim said the stabbing happened outside of McFadden’s Bar after a fight with another man.
Police found a blood trail on the sidewalk and viewed security footage that appeared to show the victim being punched in the side of the stomach multiple times. The suspect then runs to a vehicle and drives away.
The victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition but has since been upgraded to stable condition.
Plainclothes detectives continue to investigate by checking private and city camera footage.
