An adult male who was stabbed in the chest late Tuesday night on Gainsborough Street near Northeastern University in Boston remains in stable condition, officials said.

Officers arrived at the Gainsborough Street neighborhood just after 11:30 p.m. and found EMS workers treating a 26-year-old male for an apparent stab wound to the upper right part of his chest, said Officer Joe Zanoli, a Boston police spokesman.

The victim was transported to Brigham and Women's Hospital. Doctors at the hospital expect him to survive, Zanoli said.

The victim is from Charlestown and he is not a student at the university.

Witnesses at the scene described the suspect as a clean-shaven male with close-cropped black hair, around 30 to 35 years old. Witnesses said the suspect was wearing a white and black zip-up hooded sweatshirt with possible dice logos.

Detectives are investigating the Fenway attack.
