Some new information has been made available today. Police say that the person who stabbed at least three people during a fight at Poler’s Pub in Medina early yesterday morning has yet to be found and is likely injured. The victims did not appear to have life-threatening injuries but ambulance crews took the three to the hospital, with one taken to Erie County Medical Center. Police know that an argument started inside the bar but then moved outside where it became physical. However, creating challenges for the investigation, some of the people involved have been uncooperative with police and not willing to speak or go on record about the incident.
