A Man With a Machete is On the Loose

The Cambridge police are looking for a man with a machete.

According to Jennifer Flagg of the Cambridge Police Department, the man injured another adult male at the Pit today at 5:15 p.m. CPD is not currently able to provide a physical description of the perpetrator (Flagg said that the details posted by the Cambridge Chronicle are inaccurate).

The victim was treated for injury to the shoulder and released from the hospital earlier this evening.

CPD is still searching the Pit, Brattle Street, and the rest of Harvard Square for the machete-wielder. Flagg said pedestrians should exercise caution when walking on the streets.
