At least eleven people were injured Sunday in a stabbing incident in Albuquerque, the largest city in the US state of New Mexico, the city's police department confirmed.

The local police tweeted that its "officers are investigating 7 possible scenes - stretching from Downtown to Central and Wyoming - with reports of 11 stabbing victims."

"All victims are in stable condition. The lone suspect is in custody," the police tweeted.

The Albuquerque Journal reported on Sunday citing police spokesperson Gilbert Gallegos that at least two people were in critical condition following the stabbing.

"They [the attacks] appear to be random, someone was involved with an accident here on Central, a person just came up and said they were stabbed," he indicated.

Gallegos noted that "there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason at this point," the local KRQE channel quoted him as saying.

KRQE said, citing officials, that the suspect was on a BMX bike and had a large knife at the time of the arrest.

Violent attacks have been increasing in the US, as besides stabbing sprees, mass shootings ravage the country on a daily basis, with nearly 20,500 dying of gun violence in 2021 alone, more than 300 of which were children, a hike from 2020.
