Man fatally stabbed in Chisago County, suspect on the run

Law enforcement officers are looking for the person who fatally stabbed a man at a residence in Chisago County early Friday.

Dispatchers got a call about 2:20 a.m. about a stabbing in Sunrise Township east of North Branch, according to sheriff's officials.

Deputies and North Branch police officers arrived and began life saving efforts.

An ambulance took the victim to a nearby open area to meet a medical helicopter. But sheriff's officials say the man died before he could be transported.

The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle before law enforcement arrived.
