A man is recovering this morning after someone stabbed him during a fight near the Howard CTA station in Rogers Park overnight. The assailant remains at large.
Police said the 35-year-old got into a fight with several men on a sidewalk in the 1700 block of West Howard, just outside the train station, around 2:10 a.m. During the altercation, one of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the left leg.
EMS took the victim to St. Francis Hospital in fair condition.
The assailant was last seen running east on Howard and then south through an alley. Officers were told to be on the lookout for a Black male with a backpack wearing a blue jacket with gray jogging pants.
