Amherst police are investigating a fight in the Alpine Commons apartment complex that left two men hospitalized with stab wounds early Friday morning.
According to police reports, the two victims were part of a larger group returning to an apartment in the complex. Following an argument, a fight involving between eight and 10 people broke out in the parking lot of the complex.
After one of the assailants allegedly took out a knife, the group fled and attempted to lock themselves inside their apartment. The alleged participants pursued and forced entry into the apartment, damaging the door in the process, police said.
The assailants fled the scene after police responded to the incident at approximately 1:56 a.m.
The victims - both 21-years-old - were treated for a number of non-life threatening injuries at Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northampton that included abrasions and cuts. One man was treated for a puncture wound on his hand.
Both victims are students at the University of Massachusetts.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the Amherst Police Department Detective Bureau at 413-259-3015.

How about telling the truth: this was a hate crime.
Yes, white men can be the VICTIMS of hate crimes too.
But when we have our ideological perspective and politically correct bias, we will never admit to this. (Continued…)
