    Update: 1 p.m. Thursday:

    Riley County Police indicate there was an aggravated battery involving a stabbing reported near the intersection of Juliette and Yuma and 12:05 Thursday afternoon. An unidentified woman was taken to Mercy Regional Health Center for treatment of unspecified injuries.

    RCPD Captain Tim Hegarty tells KMAN police are searching for a person of interest identified as a black male, 5’6″, weighing 165 pounds and bald, wearing blue jeans, and a dark coat over a gray shirt.

    Indications are the individual is no longer in the Manhattan area. A red 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora with Kansas plates of 797EDX may be involved.

    Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

    The IRIS alert has been cancelled in the 600 block of Yuma, as no further public safety threat is believed to be present.
