About Incident
Shortly after noon on Wednesday, police responded to 457 Benefit Street for a report of an altercation.
Police met with the victims - a man in his 40s and a female in her 30s - who told officers that a "tall black male wearing a white shirt and blue jeans came up to them and asked for a cigarette."
When they refused, the suspect reportedly became irate and pulled out a box cutter.
He reportedly slashed the male victim on the hand and the female victim on her arm.
The suspect then fled the scene onto Wickenden Street, according to the victims.
