PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) – As the Federal Hill Summer Festival wrapped up Saturday night, a 27-year-old man was stabbed on Atwells Avenue.

Police say the stabbing occurred shortly after 10 p.m. at the intersection of Atwells Avenue and Messenger Street, nearby Rock & Rye Pub and the stage where live entertainment had just finished up for the second night of the three-day-long festival.

This is not the first time the bar has been in trouble. In fact, a stabbing also took place outside the establishment in November of 2015.

The club will remain closed for 72-hours pending another hearing of the providence board of licenses later in the week.

The victim was transported to Rhode Island Hospital with a puncture wood. His condition has not yet been released, and no arrests have been made so far in connection with the incident.
