Utica Police say they were called to a fight on the 1000 block of Warren Street on Thursday evening at around 7:30 p.m. Responding officer learned that a male had driven himself to the hospital and several stab wounds to his arms, legs and neck. The victim underwent surgery and, according to information released by UPD, exemplary care provided by staff from St. Luke's and St. Elizabeth, is expected to survive.

Police say the teen arrested at the scene is charged with attempted assault and criminal possession of a weapon. The name is not being released.

Police say soon after, two women walked into the hospital with lacerations, as one of the female victims had been stabbed in the chest and stomach while the other had a laceration running down her entire back.
