CEDAR RAPIDS - The investigation continues after a 39-year-old Cedar Rapids man suffered from injuries after he was punched and stabbed in Northwest Cedar Rapids Monday evening.

According to Cedar Rapids police Sgt. Cristy Hamblin, after 1:20 p.m. Shane Manley headed to 420 Ninth St. NW to "talk to three subjects." But while he was there, he was punched and stabbed, causing him to suffer from a laceration across his back and a cut to his knee, she added.
