Two Men Injured Following Stabbing Incident
Two Galesburg men are injured after Galesburg police say one was stabbed, and another was hit with a frying pan.

Police reports indicate officers were called to the 500 block of Monmouth Boulevard around 2:50am Sunday, where they say 21-year old Nathan Nicholson was found slumped over in a chair and had apparently been stabbed, while 20-year old Jonathan Scott was also found in the home with serious facial and other injuries.

Police say they followed a trail of blood to a home in the 300 block of South Henderson Street, where Scott says a number of males committed the alleged attack on him and Nicholson. A resident of the home says the boyfriend of her daughter had people in the house, and had ordered them to leave. She says she left to pick someone up, and when she returned, the house had been ransacked.

Investigators say Scott's cell phone, several hundred dollars in cash, and an S.U.V. were all stolen following the attack, with the vehicle later having been found.

Scott and Nicholson were taken to a local hospital, but it's not clear if they're still there.

Police say whoever committed faces charges of Aggravated Battery, Mob Action, and Robbery if they can ever be arrested.

Anyone with information can call Galesburg Police or the Galesburg-Area CrimeStoppers Hotline.
