Authorities seek suspect in nightclub stabbings
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office was searching Sunday for a suspect in connection with two stabbings that reportedly occurred outside The Outhouse, 1837 North 1500 Rd.
According to Douglas County Sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Lewis, deputies were dispatched at 1:53 a.m. to Overland Park Regional Medical Center, where they contacted a 37-year-old Overland Park man and a 42-year-old Lee’s Summit, Mo., man who had suffered non-life-threatening knife wounds.
The men reported they were assaulted at about 12:30 a.m. by a slender 5-foot-6 white man with brown hair. The suspect was last seen leaving the area in a dark-colored SUV. He was armed with a weapon that looked like a large box knife.
An Overland Park Regional Medical Center spokesperson could not provide updates on the two victims Sunday night.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information on the incident or suspect to call CrimeStoppers at (785) 843-8477.
