PORTLAND — Portland police say there will probably be no charges in a stabbing incident that happened over the weekend.
Police were called to 120 Baxter Blvd. at 10:30 p.m. Saturday for a report of a stabbing and found a 29-year-old man in the shower bleeding from a stomach wound, police said. Rescue workers took the man, whose condition was deteriorating, to the hospital where he was stabilized.
The man was able to tell police that he and another resident, who is 54, had been pretending to fence with kitchen knives when he was accidentally stabbed, police said. Police got conflicting stories from other adults there at the time, including that the men were not playing but really fighting.
Police decided not to charge anyone in the incident.
