Six people stabbed in brawl at Carol Stream apartment complex

Six people were stabbed during a late-night melee inside a Carol Stream apartment Tuesday, police said.

Police were dispatched about 11 p.m. to the apartment in the Wellington Place complex on Quail Run Court for a report of a stabbing.

Once there, police reported a "chaotic scene in which several people had been stabbed."

Carol Stream paramedics took multiple people to Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield to be treated for their wounds, police said. None of the injuries were life-threatening, Police Chief William Holmer said.

According to police, a 34-year-old man who lives in the apartment was attacked by family and friends of his girlfriend, who also lives in the apartment.

"In an attempt to defend himself, the man stabbed six individuals while they hit and kicked him," police officials stated in a news release.

Authorities did not release the names of the man or those involved in the dispute.

"We do have individuals in custody at the station," Holmer said Wednesday afternoon.

Court documents indicate four adults were charged with mob action and criminal trespass to residence in connection with a Carol Stream incident around the same time. One of the four people also was charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm. The charging documents do not list an address of the incident.

Police and the DuPage County state's attorney's office would not confirm if those charges stemmed from the apartment fight.

The stabbing case remains under investigation, according to the news release.
