Just after 5:00 p.m., a 911 caller reported a man had been stabbed in the 300 block of 2nd Avenue Extension South. Officers arrived and found a victim with a stab wound to his leg. Seattle Fire Department Medics treated the 39-year-old man and transported him to Harborview Medical Center in serious condition.
