Hanover police are reassuring there is no threat to public safety after a stabbing that left a 35-year-old man hurt.
The man was involved in an altercation with two other men in the area of 12th Street and 10th Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday when he was stabbed. His injuries, which included wounds to his upper body and face, were described as non-life threatening.
