Four people stabbed at house in Claverack

State police say four people were stabbed early Wednesday morning at a house in Claverack.

Four men are being treated for their injuries after they were stabbed early Wednesday morning in Columbia County. 

Police say they got the call at about 3:30am for a stabbing at 354 Route 217 in the town of Claverack.

They say they found four men with stab wounds.

Two were airlifted to Albany Medical Center, and two others taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Investigators believe one group had arrived by car.  Three of those people were stabbed.  One of the injured was from the house. 

Police are looking into what led up to the violence. 

“That’s ongoing,” said New York State Police Troop K Senior Investigator Abdul Weed.  “We believe that potentially it was a fight between two groups that led up to these individuals being stabbed.”

Police say a silver car with a smashed back windshield belongs to a resident here. 

They say they have secured the other car. 

Authorities say there were other people in the home at the time, but no children.

Investigators say they believe everyone involved knows each other.

Police say at this point, they are not looking for any other suspects. 

“To say to the public that it’s safe, that this seems to be an isolated incident, and that there’s no real danger to the public,” said Senior Investigator Weed.
