Butler police are investigating a suspected drug deal gone wrong Thursday night during which a city man was stabbed and robbed.

The 38-year-old man was treated at Butler Memorial Hospital for unknown injuries. His condition was not known this morning. Police did not immediately release the man's name.

“The investigation is in its infancy and we're still gathering information,” police Detective Anthony Fatta said this morning.

Police initially spoke to the alleged victim shortly before midnight at his home in the 200 block of Maple Avenue where they were called for a man reportedly stabbed multiple times.

The victim told officers that a short time earlier he had gone to buy marijuana from a man he only knew as “Tony,” police said. He met up with “Tony” on North Monroe Street near the Sunoco gas station.

The man took the victim to an unknown location where three young men approached him and stabbed him in the head with what appeared to be a knife, Fatta said.

The three attackers — two white and one black, all in their mid-20s — took $60 from the victim, who eventually ran back to his home.

A police report described the victim as being “very uncooperative” with officers called to investigate the report.

An ambulance was not called to the home but Fatta said police later learned that the man had gone to the hospital, apparently for treatment of his injuries.

Investigators advised the man to stop at the police station to further talk with officers after he was released from the hospital.

Fatta said police have no suspects.
