SPRINGFIELD -- Police said a man who was chased by several assailants through the streets of Old Hill on Monday night burst into a home at 59 Tyler St., where was stabbed nearly a dozen times in front of shocked residents.

Springfield Police Detective Capt. Peter J. Dillon said the incident was reported at 9:36 p.m. Monday, but detectives had yet to make any arrests Tuesday morning due to the stabbing victim's reluctance to divulge details -- including physical descriptions of his attackers.

"He said he has no idea who attacked him," Dillon said.

Five men, at least one of whom had a knife, chased the man into the Tyler Street home, where he was stabbed 11 times, Dillon said.

Dillon identified the stabbing victim as Aubrey White, whose age and address were not immediately available.

"I'd say somebody was angry at him," Dillon said of White, who is known to city police.

Dillon said detectives were interviewing residents of the Tyler Street apartment to glean any useful information, including anything they may have heard or witnessed that could help identify the assailants.

The captain said he was unsure how many people were home when White burst through their second-floor door, but none of the residents were injured.

The same cannot be said of White, however, who sustained stab wounds to the back, neck, shoulder and stomach, Dillon said.

He was taken to Baystate Medical Center for treatment. His condition was not immediately known.
