MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan Department of Corrections says two inmates were stabbed on the same day in what appear to be unrelated attacks.

The Muskegon Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1utY1kz ) says both attacks happened Saturday afternoon at Earnest C. Brooks Correctional Facility in western Michigan.

Corrections spokesman Chris Gautz says the first stabbing happened during a fight and says the second stabbing happened while guards were breaking up that fight.

Gautz says a hospital treated both inmates and says the injuries aren't life-threatening.

State police are investigating the stabbings. There was no immediate word on suspects.

The 1,200-bed prison is in Muskegon Heights.
