Suspect arrested in St. Paul stabbing that injured 2

A suspect is in custody after a stabbing in St. Paul early Sunday morning that left two people injured.

St. Paul police said officers were called to the 1200 block of Westminster Street at about 2 a.m. on a report of a stabbing.

There, officers found two victims suffering from stab wounds and provided first aid until the victims were taken to a hospital. Police said both victims suffered serious injuries but were in stable condition when they were transported.

The suspect had fled the scene before officers arrived, but the Minnesota State Patrol later stopped a vehicle and arrested Leonard Tillie for first-degree assault in connection to the stabbing.

The incident remains under investigation.
