(FARGO) — The Fargo Police Department has issued an update with new information regarding the Sunday afternoon stabbing following the F-M Pride Parade.
According to Criminal Investigations Division Captain Bill Ahlfeldt, the ongoing investigation found that the suspect and the victims were not known to each other contrary to the initial report received from the shift commander at the time of the incident.
A third victim involved in this incident reported a knife being thrown in her direction and striking her. This victim did not report any injuries at the time of the incident; however, on Monday, August 12, she contacted the police department and reported a minor injury from the knife striking her.
