While the police were attending to that man, a woman called 911 and reported that a man stabbed her in the neck as she was walking on Chestnut Street. 

Just minutes later, another man reported that a suspect had struck him in the head with a metal pipe and robbed him.

As police were searching the area for the suspect, another victim called 911 and said a man had robbed him at knife point, which included taking his car keys.
