SPRINGDALE -- Two men were injured after separate incidents on Tuesday and Wednesday night.
A 17-year-old Hispanic juvenile was believed to have accidentally shot himself during a disturbance at 11:20 p.m. Wednesday, according to a police news release. At 11:20 p.m. Tuesday, a man was stabbed after he attempted to evict two roommates who where behind on their rent, according to a second release.
The juvenile, a resident of Springdale, was allegedly involved in a fight at 810 N. Pleasant when someone knocked him down. The juvenile attempted to pull his gun from his pants, but the gun fired. The bullet wounded the juvenile in the left leg, according to the release.
He ran to a vehicle and allegedly fired two shots at the residence while leaving the scene.
Police found the juvenile at Northwest Medical Center in Springdale, where he was treated and released, according to the news release.
The juvenile has not been charged, but he faces an arrest on possible charges of committing a terroristic act and being a minor in possession of a firearm, according to the release.
The stabbing victim, Natividad Munoz, 33, 317 Berry, suffered multiple stab wounds to the back and stomach. He reported the suspects as Joel Robles, about 23, and Atlai Cabrera, about 19.
One man struck Munoz in the head with a beer bottle while the other stabbed him, police records reported. Police are seeking Robles and Cabrera for questioning, the release said. Munoz was transported to Northwest Medical Center where he was to undergo surgery. Munoz was in fair condition Thursday, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
