BOSTON (WHDH) - A man has been taken to a Boston hospital with life-threatening injuries after police say he was stabbed.

Officers responding to reports of a person stabbed near 510 Southhampton St. in Andrew Square around 8:10 p.m. found the man suffering from stab wounds, according to police.

“To be honest I got scared,” one witness said. “With everyone coming inside and looking from afar to see what was going on but the police took time- but if the police quick come it doesn’t happen like that.”

He said he recognized the victim and that the stabbing resulted from a violent fight.

Investigators have taped off the busy intersection while they work to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

People should avoid the area for the time being.
