Previous Story:
Morristown police are investigating a triple stabbing
and hostage incident.
Officers were called to investigate an assault at a
residence at West Wind Apartments on Andrew
Johnson Highway just after 8 p.m. Friday. When they
arrived, they found one man who had been stabbed.
20 or more men were carjacked or solicited in
various locations and brought to the apartment.
Investigators say some of the victims were taken
there forcefully, while the others were lured there
and taken into a back bedroom where they were tied
up.
Police say the victims were brought there by six men
armed with either handguns or knives. The suspects
took the victims' money and IDs.
During the investigation, officers located two other
stabbing victims.
Morristown Police Officer Brian Sulfridge told
10News that two of the victims were taken to
Morristown-Hamblen Hospital. The third victim was
flown by Lifestar to UT Medical Center in Knoxville.
All have non-life-threatening injuries.
"Some of the victims did come from other areas, and
our investigators will be working with the
investigators in those areas to try and track down
the suspects and track down possibly more victims,"
Officer Sulfridge said.
Detectives are looking for the six men and still
consider them armed. No names or other details
have been released about the suspects.
Detectives are asking anyone with information to
call the Morristown Police Department at 423-585-
