PENN HILLS, Pa. (KDKA) - A man is in critical condition and fighting for his life after being stabbed in Penn Hills early Wednesday morning.

According to police, a man was found stabbed in the chest on Frankstown Road, all while neighbors looked on.

Allegheny County Police said the stabbing took place just after 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning and they found the man bleeding heavily once they arrived.

He was immediately rushed to the hospital in critical condition. 

One neighbor that lives nearby said knowing what happened so close to her home is nerve-racking and unsettling. She said she believes Penn Hills has become more and more violent over the years but still believes it's safe.

"It seems like now the violence has really picked up. You're hearing about shootings; you're hearing about people being found on the side of the road," she said. "I only do this during the day, I don't come out at night. But during the day there is a police presence."

Allegheny County Police are investigating and are asking anyone with information to call their tip line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
