5 Stabbed In Milwaukee's Clarke Square Park

MILWAUKEE, WI — Four teenagers and one 33-year-old woman were stabbed during a fight at Clarke Square Park Monday night. Police say the two suspects, a 32-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, were in possession of a knife. They've been arrested.

One Milwaukee mother told FOX6 that one of her kids, who witnessed the stabbing, couldn't sleep that night. "They came back crying that they saw a couple of kids bleeding in the park," she said.

All four of the teens stabbed were boys. Police say the two parents went to the park with the knife to confront the teens, who had earlier had a dispute with their own child.

Police said in a press release that none of the victims had life-threatening wounds, and are all being treated at an area hospital. The investigation is ongoing.

"It's frustrating to me that anyone would react this way," said Alderman Bob Donovan, according to FOX6.

One 13-year-old girl who witnessed her friends getting stabbed said "You don't want to see people you hold close to your heart get stabbed," FOX6 reported.

Some parents are requesting increased police presence in the area.
