6 stabbed in fight near Boston nightclubs

Six people were stabbed early Sunday morning in a popular clubbing area of downtown Boston following a fight, and police said at least one suspect was at large.

Officials at nearby Emerson College sent an alert to students shortly after the approximately 2:15 a.m. incident, asking its campus community to remain alert for any suspicious activity. Emerson police on Sunday morning declined to offer additional specifics, citing the ongoing investigation.

Boston Police said all the victims suffered non life-threatening injuries; their identities were not made public.

Boston Police Superintendent Bernard O’Rourke said police have identified at least one suspect, and said some victims suffered knife wounds while others were cut with bottles, the Boston Globe reported.

Photos posted to social media showed bloodied belongings scattered on the street outside the Courtyard by Marriott hotel on Tremont Street.

The area is home to multiple large dance clubs that close at 2 a.m. Police were initially called to the area on a report of a fight with four victims, police said.
