Several people have been charged after police say a man was stabbed and forcibly confined in a West Elmwood home Monday.
Police say the man in his 20s was at a home in the 100 block of Johnson Avenue with several people from what investigators call “the drug subculture” when an argument broke out.
They say the victim was stabbed, beaten and prevented from leaving the home.
The man was eventually able to flee to a nearby convivence store where police were called.
Officers provided emergency medical care and the man was rushed to hospital in unstable condition where he has since been upgraded to stable.
