The Charlottesville Police Department is seeking information related to a recent stabbing that occurred in the Market Street Park area of the city.
CPD said it is investigating a stabbing that is reported to have occurred early Sunday morning between the hours of 1:30 and 3:30 a.m.
Officers were dispatched to UVA Medical Center for a report of a victim who had suffered several stab wounds. The victim is currently in stable condition.
CPD does not believe this was a random attack.
The park’s hours were previously 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. However, Charlottesville’s City Manager Samuel Sanders, Jr. lifted the closing time on Sept. 21 in response to tensions between the homeless population and city police officers.
