“Two adult men apparently became involved in an altercation at this location,” said Five Rivers MetroParks Chief of Public Safety Mark Hess. “One man was stabbed in the chest.”

The man drove to Baker Road and medics arrived to transport him to Miami Valley Hospital.

“He is currently in serious condition and is expected to survive his wound,” Hess said. “The second man was removed to Soin Medical Center where he was treated and released for a hand injury.”

The cause of the altercation remains under investigation, he added. No arrests have been made.
