The unidentified victim, who was in his mid-20s and had been stabbed in the leg, was taken to a Billings hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.  He was later released.  Police investigated and discovered another man in a closet inside the apartment with apparent stab wounds to his arm.  He was not taken to a hospital.
