Metro Police are reporting a second case of violence this week involving Pokemon Go players hunting for virtual creatures in public parks at night.
Officer Laura Meltzer said Thursday that a Pokemon Go player slashed two people. The player told investigators that he pulled a knife because the pair attacked him as he chased a man who grabbed his cellphone.
Meltzer says one person was slashed in the face and another received a hand wound Wednesday night. She says the person with the knife was questioned but wasn't immediately charged with a crime.
The stabbings follow the arrest early Monday of an 18-year-old who police say was wounded in an exchange of gunfire while trying to rob a group of Pokemon Go players at a different park.
