Missoula Police Department responded to a call about a man covered in blood.
According to NBC Montana, the 911 call was placed about 7:50 p.m. June 4, and police were dispatched to the Poverello Center. The call was for a male covered in blood. The caller reportedly assisted the injured man until emergency personnel arrived.
"According to MPD, the victim was stabbed and bear sprayed by a suspect whom he knew," NBC Montana reported.
The victim sustained injuries, but they were not considered to be immediately life-threatening, so he was taken to St. Patrick's hospital for treatment, NBC Montana reported. MPD reported no arrests were made, but there is no risk to the safety of the general public.
The MPD website provides information on the department and resources for the community. The website is an exercise in transparency and openness between the police department and the greater Missoula community.
"Whether you are browsing here for news on latest in crime occurrences or seeking employment advice from around the globe, we are here to serve you," the website says.
The officers are committed to serving the community with honor, valor and pride, according to the website.
Additionally, the police department extends an invitation to the community to explore volunteer and employment opportunities, conduct research on crime data, view crime maps, read department regulations and keep up with the police department activities, the website reports. There are also links to the department's social media, as well as annual reports and its strategic plan.
Quick links on the website allow the public to file a complaint, make a police report, submit digital evidence, report a drug dealer, file a complaint against a police department employee, report bias or a hate crime and more.
The single most critical thing the community can do is make sure the department receives input and informs the department on how to improve its interactions with one another and the overall level of public safety in the community, according to the website.
