ORIGINAL POST
Sacramento police are investigating a reported stabbing in Old Sacramento that left at least three people injured early Saturday morning, according to preliminary police radio traffic.
Just after 3 a.m., Sacramento Police Department officers were dispatched Code 3 to Old Sacramento following multiple reports of stabbing victims in the area.
As officers arrived, several were reportedly flagged down at different locations by victims and witnesses, indicating the incident may have involved multiple scenes within the entertainment district.
According to police radio traffic monitored by Public Safety News, two victims—both believed to be in their 20s—were transported by ambulance to area hospitals. Their conditions have not yet been released.
A third victim reportedly left the scene in a private vehicle before officers arrived and was transported to a hospital independently.
Officers on scene immediately began providing medical aid until Sacramento Fire Department personnel and emergency medical crews arrived and assumed patient care.
At this time, no suspect information has been released, and it is unclear what led up to the incident or whether any arrests have been made.
Because this information is based solely on preliminary police radio traffic and on-scene observations, details remain subject to change as the investigation continues.
Public Safety News is reaching out to the Sacramento Police Department Public Information Office and will update this story as official information becomes available.
