Officers responded to the area of Main and Elm Streets around 3 p.m. Thursday, police said. When police arrived on the scene, they found a 23-year-old New Bedford man bleeding from multiple stab wounds.
The man was treated on the scene for his wounds before being transported to Rhode Island Hospital.
The New Bedford man said he had arranged the sale of a cellphone on Facebook Marketplace, according to police. The man told police he was picked up by two men in a black Jeep and an argument ensued when the men tried to take the phone without paying him.
