Sparta Police are searching for a man they believe was involved in a stabbing on Saturday night.

The stabbing happened on Hill Street just after 10 p.m. Saturday. A 27-year-old Jorge Rodriguez Mendez was stabbed multiple times.

He was taken to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

Police are looking for 22-year-old Christian Sanchez. He had been living in Sparta and may have injuries from the incident.

"We're looking at aggravated assault charge, of course the caveat there is that there was a weapon involved so we have the use of a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct," says Sparta Police Chief Michael Kass.

If you have any information on Sanchez, you are asked to call the Sparta Police Department at 608-269-3122.
