A 19-year-old man was stabbed Sunday night during an altercation that involved several people in a south Evanston parking lot.

The Evanston resident reported getting into a fight with two men, both between 18 and 32 years old, at about 10:30 p.m. in the 800 block of Dodge Avenue, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. A friend of the injured man drove him to Evanston Hospital, where doctors found a puncture wound in his lower back, Dugan said. The injuries were not life-threatening.

Police are conducting a follow-up interview with the injured man after officers found that the his account of the altercation did not match those of three witnesses, Dugan said.
