Around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to Mt. He responded to Auburn and Boylston streets. Multiple calls were made to 911, reporting a disturbance at the bus stop in that area.

Emergency workers arrived to find a man with wounds to his face and head, as well as wounds on his back consistent with stab wounds, according to authorities.

The man told police he was waiting at the bus stop when a car passed him before parking on the corner. According to the statement, three masked people got out of the vehicle, asked where he was from and started kicking and punching him.

Two minutes later, all of the masked men ran to their cars and drove away, according to the statement.

The victim was taken to an area hospital, treated and released.
