CRANSTON, R.I. -- The police are searching for the person who stabbed a 15-year-old boy in the abdomen behind Stone Hill School late Wednesday night.
Cranston Maj. Robert Ryan said officers and rescuers found the boy around 10 p.m. behind the school at 21 Village Ave., and rushed him to Hasbro Children's Hospital. His injuries were believed to be non-life-threatening.
The boy told police he was out for a walk when a stranger wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, red basketball shorts, and winter gloves grabbed him from behind and stabbed him, Ryan said. The boy told police he didn't know the assailant, who concealed his face with the hooded sweatshirt.
Police seized the weapon and other evidence, according to a news release.
