MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, MASS. (WHDH) - A suspect is facing criminal charges and two others are being sought after a man was found suffering from multiple stab wounds in Manchester-by-the-Sea on Sunday night.

Officers responding to a reported stabbing in the area of School and North streets around 7:50 p.m. found a man in his mid-30s who had been stabbed multiple times, according to Manchester-by-the-Sea police.

He was taken to Beverly Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The stabbing is believed to have happened inside a vehicle as it was leaving Masconomo Park in Manchester-by-the-Sea, not far from where the victim was located, police said.
