Police are searching for the suspect
UPDATE, Monday 1:12 p.m. — Police have made an arrest in this incident. ~~~~~ Boston Police are searching for a suspect in a Sunday night stabbing near 145 Amory Street, according to public safety radio transmissions. First responders treated a woman for stab wounds to the hands, according to the scanner reports. Initial reports said the suspect barricaded himself in an apartment, though he may have jumped from a window and onto an adjoining flat roof. Police are searching the area, and EMT's have asked for an additional ambulance at the scene. This is a developing story. Public safety radio transmissions are not police confirmation of an incident.
The incident happened near the lilac collection, but was not a stabbing, police say.
UPDATE, Tuesday, 11:51 a.m. — Police say there was no stabbing in this incident. The initial call came in as a stabbing, but the facts of the case don't support that description. Here is a post with the updated information. ~~~~~ Police say they are investigating a stabbing in the Arnold Arboretum this morning. They were not able to provide any additional information but Patch received information from a JP resident that the stabbing happened around 8:40 a.m. near the lilac collection, between the Forest Hills and Centre Street entrances. The victim, a man, was taken away by ambulance, according to the tip. [Editor's note: I've changed the headline in the Tuesday update to reflect that it was not a stabbing.]

Because I live in a million dollar condo I have no right to complain? Sounds like socio-economic discrimination to me. The common area was trashed and I was offended by the lack of respect guests showed for it. I'm sorry for not realizing that asking for someone to clean up after themselves could be considered racist. more ›

Hi jeem, it's often the case that early descriptions of police calls turn out to be wrong. A call for a burglary could be a homeowner breaking into her own house; someone could by lying about their injuries, witnesses could have thought they saw things they didn't, etc. Hope that helps. more ›
