Lawrence Police are investigating after a man was found stabbed at Centennial Park early Monday.

Officers were called to the west side of the park, located in the 600 block of Rockledge Road, around 1:30 a.m. on reports of a man injured from a fight.

Police officers determined that the fight took place near the southwest corner of the park in a grassy area.

The victim was only able to give police a very vague description of an approximately 6ft tall, 200lbs man.
