POLICE: No pending arrests in uptown Greenville knife attack

Police say no arrests are pending after two people were cut in a fight with a knife and a third person injured overnight in uptown Greenville.

It happened shortly after 1:00 a.m. in a parking lot on East 5th Street which is shared by two businesses, Sup Dogs and The Stop Shop.

Police say 22-year-old Matthew McLamb and 21-year-old John Couch were found in the parking lot with "apparent knife wounds to their legs".

While police characterized the wounds as a "cutting or slashing", video viewed by WITN News appears to show more serious injuries to at least one of the men.

A witness told officers that a third person involved, 20-year-old Justin Ingram, ran north on Reade Circle. He was found a short time later near the Town Common.

All three were sent to Vidant Medical Center for non-life threatening injuries.

Police say their investigation so far shows that Ingram was involved in an altercation as he left Pantana Bobs on Cotanche Street. Officers say McLamb and Couch followed him into the parking lot, confronted him, and then repeatedly assaulted him while he was on the ground.

At some point, a knife was produced and both McLamb and Couch were cut. Ingram was able to break free and ran toward the Town Common, according to a police news release.

Police said that the assault did not happen inside Sup Dogs, and that none of the three men had been in that business.

ECU says Ingram was a student at the university until today, while Couch last attended the university in the fall.

The case remains under investigation, according to police.
