2 stabbed in separate West Loop attacks overnight

Two men were stabbed in separate attacks along the same West Loop block early Monday.

Most recently, Central District officers on patrol about 2 a.m. found a 44-year-old man standing in the middle of the street with several injuries in the 1300 block of South Jefferson Street

He told officers he was attacked by two assailants — one of them armed with an ax, police said.

He was taken to Stroger where he was in good condition, authorities said.

Just one hour earlier, a 40-year-old man was walking in the same block along Jefferson Street when he was attacked and robbed by someone on a bicycle, Chicago police said.

He suffered cuts to his head and also was taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition, police said.

No one was in custody in either attack.

Area 3 detectives are investigating.
