TRENTON — Two stabbings reported one minute apart early Saturday outside two city bars left three men wounded, police said today.

No arrests have been made, and all the victims are expected to survive.

At 1:57 a.m., police were dispatched to the Anchor Bar on the 900 block of New York
Avenue on a reported street fight there, said Lt. Mark Kieffer, a city police spokesman.
Officers arriving there found a 22-year-old Trenton man stabbed in the stomach.

Several witnesses were also found, but no one was fighting when the officers showed up, Kieffer said. An ambulance took the wounded man to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.

At 1:58 a.m., a stabbing was reported outside Casa De Luna bar on the 800 block of Chestnut Avenue, with two men wounded. The first victim was found by police nearby on the 400 block of Roebling Avenue. The 22-year-old man was found with a laceration to his right hand that was bleeding heavily, Kieffer said.

Shortly after, police found a 23-year-old walking wounded in the same block as the bar. He had been stabbed in the shoulder and left forearm, according to police.

Both victims were highly intoxicated and little help to investigating officers, Kieffer said. Police do not believe the men stabbed each other
