More… The police say the stabbing happened around 21st and K streets in midtown Sacramento.
KCRA reported:
A fight in the street allegedly led to Stone being stabbed multiple times in the torso, prompting investigators to block off two blocks in the area, Sacramento police said.
Homicide detectives were called out because officers did not think Stone would survive, but he was taken to the hospital and is expected to live, according to police.
A man and a woman were questioned by police, but there is no word that they were detained or taken into custody.
The area reopened about 6 a.m., but the investigation is ongoing.
No suspect description has been released.
Stone was stabbed four times in the upper torso.
Police did not think he would survive.
