Iowa considers banning social media accounts for adolescents

Iowa City police are searching for a suspect accused of stabbing three people in a “large fight” near the University of Iowa campus.
An Iowa City Police Department (ICPD) spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the incident was isolated and apparently occurred among a non-student group known for carrying knives, though the spokesperson stopped short of calling the group a gang.
Authorities initially responded to reports of a fight at a restaurant on S. Gilbert Street just before 2 a.m. Saturday.
Upon arrival, “multiple suspects fled the scene,” ICPD said in a press release.

Police located three adult men suffering from stab wounds, and authorities transported them to a nearby hospital for treatment. All three victims are expected to recover, ICPD said.

“Initial investigation has determined that the fight was among parties known to each other and that there is no direct threat to the general public,” ICPD said.
