Man injured after being stabbed near West Philadelphia rec center

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Police are searching for two men following a stabbing near the Haddington and Shepard rec centers in West Philadelphia.

It happened on 57th Street, near Vine Street, on Sunday morning.

Authorities say a 39-year-old man was stabbed by two other men.

He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Hospital in stable condition.

This comes less than a week after a shooting at the Christy Rec Center at 56th and Christian streets, where five people were injured in the gunfire.

A 17-year-old boy is now facing charges in that shooting after turning himself in to police.
