KENSINGTON, Pa. (WTXF) - Two men left in critical condition will be charged with aggravated assault on each other after a stabbing and assault.

It happened after 8:00 Monday night on the 2000 block of East William Street in Kensington. A 38-year old man was stabbed in the head, face and back. A 34-year old man was hit in head with a tire iron. Both were taken to Temple Hospital in critical condition.

Investigators aren't sure who started it but say a witness tells police the men were fighting over a 2010 Mitsubishi.

"That vehicle is in stolen status. It was stolen from this area in the past week. It was stolen with the keys in the ignition," said Chief Inspector Scott Small.

Police say both men will be arrested and charged for aggravated assault on each other. They have the tire iron but the knife hasn't been found. A woman who was there when it happened is being questioned. Police believe she knows both of the men.
