Though the 50-year-old Hispanic offender has admitted to the stabbing, he has not been officially charged as yet.
The hospitalized victim is believed to be in serious condition, according to police.
Responding to a call at 11:45 p.m., Apr. 12, Chicago Police District 14 officers found two men stabbed in the 2300 block of N. Kedzie. One man was unresponsive.
The second victim, a 60 year-old Hispanic, was transported to Illinois Masonic Hospital, 836 W. Wellington, with stab wounds to the abdomen. He was in stable condition.
