BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (KMSP) - Bloomington police are investigating a stabbing at the Mall of America. Police say they were dispatched to Macy's around 6:40 p.m. on a report of a stabbing.

When police arrived they found two men had been stabbed in the dressing room in the men's department of Macy's. 

Police say a man was in the dressing room when the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Mahad Abdirahaman of Minneapolis, tried to steal some of his items. When the victim confronted Abdirahaman he drew a knife and stabbed the victim.

Members of the victims family intervened. While they intervened, Abdirahaman stabbed another man.

Alexander Sanchez, 19, suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries to his face and upper body. His brother, 25-year-old John Sanchez was stabbed on his upper body and has been released from Hennepin County Medical Center.

It is not believed the Abdirahaman knew the victims.
