A San Francisco man was stabbed on The Embarcadero Monday evening following a fight that broke out between two groups.

The man, described as a black male between the ages of 18 and 20 years old, was stabbed three times in the legs around 4:45 p.m. near Pier 26, according to San Francisco Police Sgt. Michael Andraychak.

He was transported to a local hospital, with non-life threatening injuries, Andraychak said.

The two groups have a prior history with one another.

Andraychak said a physical altercation had broken that involved as many as 10 people, before the man was stabbed. The suspects fled on foot. No arrests have been made.

It is unknown if the incident is gang-related.
