n Stabbing 

Police are searching for a suspect who stabbed three men on the 2300 block of Telegraph Avenue at 7 p.m. Tuesday. According to police, the three men were walking two dogs, when the suspect, carrying a boom box radio, walked by them and flicked his cigarette at one of the dogs. The dog’s owner confronted the suspect and after a brief argument the fight was on. During the brief battle, the suspect struck all three of the victims with a sharp object that none of the victims had actually seen. Only after the suspect had fled north on Telegraph did the victims realize they had suffered stab wounds. One victim, who was stabbed in the stomach, was kept overnight at a local hospital for observation. The other two were treated and released.
