At least two people were injured in Dayton on Saturday night.

Crews responded to reports of a stabbing at the 200 block of Yale Avenue around 9:57 p.m., according to a incident report from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.

The male suspect was arguing with a 37-year-old female victim, pulled out a knife, and stabbed her, according to Lt. Eric Sheldon with the Dayton Police Department.

Sheldon said when witnesses confronted the suspect to get him out of the apartment, he then cut an 18-year-old male.

A second suspect pulled out a handgun while the two were exiting the building, he added.

The two victims were transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

In a 911 call, the caller said a few people “were cut and stabbed.”

A caller said at least one person was cut on the arm and a second person was stabbed in the back.

An altercation occurred with a knife from an unknown suspect, the caller said.

Detectives from the Dayton Police Department’s Violent Offender Unit are investigating this incident.
