Three people are at large after a 34-year-old man was stabbed inside a motel room in Garner, early on Friday morning, according to police.
Officers responded to a report of a stabbing at the Econo Lodge motel on Mechanical Boulevard in Garner just before 3:30 a.m., Lt. Kevan Anderson of the Garner Police Department said in a news release.
The stabbing victim was found with multiple lacerations to his head, upper body and hands, and was transported to WakeMed in Raleigh for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, Anderson said.
Anderson said police are looking for three suspects — two men and one woman — who haven’t yet been identified.
The suspects fled from the scene in a dark blue or gray 2-door Cadillac vehicle that had tinted windows, the release stated.
