4 stabbed at Mesa apartment complex

Four people are expected to survive after police say they were stabbed when a fight broke out on New Year's Eve at an apartment complex near Broadway and Gilbert Roads.

The Brief

    • Four people were stabbed on Dec. 31 at an apartment complex near Broadway and Gilbert Roads.
    • All four victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
    • No suspects are in custody.

MESA, Ariz. - No suspects are in custody after a quadruple stabbing late Wednesday night left four people injured.

What we know:

The incident happened just before midnight on Dec. 31 at an apartment complex near Broadway and Gilbert Roads.

Mesa Police say when officers got to the scene, they found four adults with cut and stab wounds.

"Upon arrival, officers located four adult victims suffering from cut and stab wounds. Three victims sustained deep lacerations consistent with an edged weapon, and a fourth suffered a puncture wound to the chest. All four victims received medical treatment, and their injuries are not considered life-threatening," Mesa Police said.

What they're saying:

Investigators say people were drinking alcohol at several apartments when a fight broke out.

"The investigation determined the incident involved occupants from multiple apartments within the complex. Officers learned that several individuals had been consuming alcohol, and a verbal dispute escalated into a physical altercation. During the disturbance, additional residents exited nearby apartments and became involved," police said.

More than 10 people were detained for questioning, but no arrests have been made.

"Multiple interviews were conducted with victims, witnesses, and involved parties. However, accounts of the incident were conflicting, and detectives were unable to establish a clear primary aggressor. At this time, no arrests have been made, and all detained individuals were later released," police said.

Police say the stabbing appears to be isolated to the group.
