Crime becoming a major focus in Illinois' gubernatorial primary

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker defended his party's record on fighting crime, one day after a voter revolt in California unseated a progressive prosecutor.

A man was stabbed in the chest in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood during an altercation Thursday night.

The incident occurred in the 1100 block of West Wilson.

At about 7:22 p.m., police responded to a person stabbed and found a 59-year-old man with a puncture wound to the upper chest.

The victim said he was in a physical altercation with an unknown man — who fled the scene after the incident, police said.
