Telecar 3. All right, just be advised. Getting a call at number 4 Longfellow Park, Pro received a private call for a party who was potentially stabbed in the area. I'm not sure if this is related or not. Copy, thank you for the head stop. I'm almost pro right now. They had very limited information. There are a few people in the area. I'm going to attempt to talk to them. Control has that. 17, do you copy? I am. Do you have control? Control answer. You can clear the call box. I probably go their way. Copy. Here, I'm going to click on the Longfellow Park Hall for now if you can check that area. We have Fire and Pro heading next slide. Okay, I'll hold over there now. 35, I have you off. So, 13R. 13.

All right. It's a Longfellow Park as well. Coffee. Antina Control. 19. This is Longfellow Park? Yeah, sorry, I was just about to update. It looks like it's moving up to your area now. We're still trying to get more information here. We're getting this from Pro. We got a 20-year-old male with a stab wound to the stomach. SP's not in the area anymore. I know where he went. Right now the patient is waiting around a flashlight at Longfellow Park to get attention. All right, control, I misspoke. This is 17. See you saying it happened at Longfellow Park? Yeah, it originally started down by, somewhere down by the river, the Anderson Bridge, and now we got a victim up at 4 Longfellow Park. All right, I'll make my way there. Have you notified CID? For coffee. 19 to 17. I'll head over. I'll take care of it. Navarre. Got three's off on Cottle Park. Thank you. Control. Answer. Good evening, ma'am. I know the last dispatcher said that the gentleman was waving around a flashlight. I'm checking the park. I don't see anything at all. You have them on the line, so you try to get a better location. Come me, please. Came in directly from Pro. Patient stated he was waving around a flashlight. He's in black shorts with a white t-shirt. Eric is near the Harvard Bridge. Near the Harvard Bridge Memorial Drive is the update. I'm going to... All right, copy. To the northern archives, we're at Longfellow Park. We have nothing shown. If you guys want to head down there, we'll make our way down there. We were just there. We had nothing shown. Control the units respond in Longfellow Park. Upstated location is going to be westbound, JFK at Memorial Drive. JFK at Memorial Drive. Yes, that thank you. There you control. Answering. I'd like you with this. I see a few fire companies there. Can you reach out and see if they're actually off with the victim, otherwise we'll clear the area? Three, fire and ambulance are with the victim. They're a JFK Memorial. They haven't been in the pressure right now. I'll, uh, I'll advise. I'll try to get some mentor. Appreciate. He's uh, conscious somewhat alert. He got stabbed once in the stomach. He was in a tent, uh, along the river. They're going to be taking him to the hospital. Receives private conscience and alert again to the hospital. Uh, 3 to 19. I don't know if the staffing took us down here or not. I don't know if you want me to hold this as a fiend or follow this guy to the hospital. You talk to them before they leave? Or is it that bad? They're sort of making this an urgency thing of getting them to the hospital. I don't think there's much time to talk to them. Okay, hang on. I'll be there a minute. All right, copy. I'm along the tent where the staff actually happened. There are a few officers things like, bro. With the guys on the engines. Do you have any idea along the river where it may have happened?
