Two men face assault charges after an apartment stabbing in North Point Douglas Friday.
Police say officers were called to a suite in the 200 block of Austin Street North after a reported stabbing.
A 33-year-old man was found suffering from serious injuries. He was rushed to hospital in unstable condition, but later upgraded to stable.
Investigators believe that the victim was attacked by two people that he knew with a baseball bat and hammer. The pair subsequently fled, and the victim was able to get to the common area of the building where he was found by another resident.
