Three officers with the Saugus Police Department were stabbed—and another injured in another manner—as they were attempting to investigate a report of a stolen rental vehicle.
According to Boston.com, Assistant Saugus Police Chief Ron Giorgetti said that the three officers who were stabbed were subsequently transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The other injured officer was evaluated on scene and transported to a local hospital as a precaution. His injuries are thought to not be serious.
