A man was hospitalized in criticial condition late Thursday after being stabbed in Downtown Pittsburgh.

The man, who police did not name, was stabbed in the abdomen about 11:30 p.m. in the 700 block of Liberty Avenue after being involved “in some sort of altercation,” Pittsburgh police said.

Paramedics rushed him to an area hospital, where he was taken into surgery, police said.

The area of Downtown where the man was stabbed sits on the edge of the city’s Cultural District. The block contains Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s Wood Street station, which currently is closed due to construction. The Benedum Center for the Performing Arts is located around the corner.

The police force’s mobile crime unit processed evidence at the scene. No arrests have been announced.

The investigation is ongoing.
