A fight in University City late Thursday left three teenagers stabbed and three other males in police custody.
Just after 11:10 p.m., University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Police responded to 40th and Market Streets for what UPenn Police called a “large disturbance" on the street.
Police quickly cleared the scene to find three males suffering from stab wounds, according to a UPenn press release.
A mother told NBC10's Byron Scott that her 16- and 17-year-old sons were stabbed. One of the boys suffered a collapsed lung but he was expected to be OK, his mother said.
Police listed the 17-year-old in serious condition and didn't release conditions for the 16-year-old nor a 19-year-old who was also stabbed.
People in a nearby apartment complex say that they were at home watching TV when a man burst in and ran upstairs. Officers say they recovered a knife from that apartment.
The man who rushed into that apartment and another two men were taken in for questioning. There were no immediate charges filed cops said.
