One person was stabbed in the knee and another "scuffed up and knocked around" near the museum.  A third person was stabbed twice while working near the parking lot of the Pantagraph newspaper. All three victims were taken to area hospitals.

Bloomington police made one arrest in connection with the attacks, and the incidents are still being investigated.
