"Officers responded to the area of 71 Summer St. for a report of a fight at about 3:37 p.m. When they arrived, police found one victim with multiple stab wounds. They were transported to a local hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries, according to a Boston Police Department spokesperson. A second victim with life-threatening injuries later showed up at a local hospital."
"In recent years, officials have been engaging in a renewed effort to improve safety in downtown Boston. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and other leaders attended a closed-door meeting in February, where they agreed on the need for urgent action and began to lay out next steps. A follow-up summit, which was open to the public, occurred in late October. Officials showed evidence that violent crimes, syringe-related 311 calls, and overdose deaths are decreasing in the area."
