Allentown police were looking for two suspects who fled after a bloody confrontation in an alley.
A 22-year-old New Jersey man was shot and another man was stabbed in an Allentown alley Friday night, police said.
Authorities were looking for two suspects who fled after the confrontation about 7 p.m. in the 100 block of Russell Street, an alley between Turner and Oak streets, said Assistant Chief Gail Struss.
The shooting victim from Washington, N.J., was hit in the leg; the other victim, a 23-year-old from Allentown, was stabbed in the arm, Struss said. Both men were taken by ambulance to Lehigh Valley Hospital in Salisbury Township.
Police did not release their names.
"They have non life-threatening injuries. They're going to be fine," Struss said.
She said at least four people were involved -- the two victims and two suspects.
"There was a disturbance in the block that turned into physical fight that escalated into the shooting and the stabbing," Struss said Saturday morning. "Some are suggesting that it may have been over a road rage incident that happened earlier in the day."
Police did not have complete descriptions of the attackers or the direction in which they fled. The gunman was described as a black male and the suspect with the knife was white with long hair and a man bun, Struss said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Allentown Police Department Detective Bureau at 610-437-7721.
