Man, 23, charged in Woodland Drive stabbing

Columbus Police said they have linked a 23-year-old man to the Wednesday night on Woodland Drive in which a man was stabbed in the chest.

An officer who responded to the 7:30 p.m. assault found the victim “bleeding profusely” in the 1500 block of Violet Avenue. He was rushed to Midtown Medical, where is currently in satisfactory condition, Columbus Regional spokeswoman Jessica Word said Thursday morning.
