Officers responding located a man with a laceration to his head. The man, a 31-year old local resident, told police he had been walking with two other men when one of them attacked him without provocation with a large knife. The victim was able to get away and call police. He was transported to the Bartlett Regional Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, and later released.
