The suspect in the stabbing is still at large.

HOLLYWOOD (CNS) - Three men were stabbed at a Hollywood Boulevard tattoo parlor Sunday by an aggressor who remained at large, police said.

The stabbings at Hollywood Boulevard and Whitley Avenue were reported at 2:24 a.m., said Los Angeles police Lt. Marc Reina of the Hollywood Station.

Detectives at the scene told a freelance video crew that the men were stabbed in the doorway of the tattoo parlor, then went inside and collapsed. One man was stabbed in the abdomen, another in the back and the third in a hand, he said.
