Teen stabbed in fight in Arlington Center

A 19-year-old Arlington man was stabbed Friday night during a fight between two groups in Arlington Center, police said.

Police responded to reports of fighting at around 7 and found the victim and a large pool of blood on the sidewalk on Broadway. The victim, whom police did not identify, was transported to Mount Auburn Hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

Police arrested a suspect at the scene and recovered two large knives they believe were used in the attack. Police said the initial investigation indicates that the attack was part of an ongoing feud between a group in Arlington and a group in Boston.

The suspect, 16, who is being held without bail, will be arraigned Monday on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
