Two men were stabbed near Boston Common late Thursday morning but were able to walk to Tufts Medical Center for treatment, according to Boston police.
The men were on Mason Street at about 11:30 a.m. when they got into an argument with a third man, according to Officer Rachel McGuire, a police spokeswoman. The third man stabbed the other two men, McGuire said.
The victims were not seriously injured and walked to Tufts Medical Center about half a mile away.
McGuire said the stabbing suspect is in custody.
At the scene Thursday morning, a section of Mason Street was closed off with yellow crime scene tape from its intersection with Avery Street to the entrance of a private parking garage.
