Providence police are investigating after a woman was shot near a bar Saturday morning.  

Police tell ABC 6 it happened on Smith Street at 2 a.m. when two men harassed a woman at Patrick’s Pub on August 22nd. Police are not sure if the female injured was the same victim of the harassment. 

A witness assisted the female and another man stepped in to help protect her. A fight began outside shortly after that resulted in one of the men who was helping the female suffer from a stab wound. 

One of the males who harassed the female shot a gun and injured a female. The victim was transported to Rhode Island with serious injuries.
