Person stabbed at Dosker Manor, LMPD says

Hundreds of people living at Dosker Manor are facing a major relocation from their long-time homes in the months to come.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man is is in the hospital after being stabbed at Dosker Manor, according to the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD).

They say around 1:23 p.m. on Thursday officers responded to Dosker Manor in the 400 block of East Muhammad Ali Boulevard. 

When they got there they found a man stabbed. 

He was taken to University Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. 

LMPD did not say what led up to the stabbing.

Hundreds of people living at Dosker Manor are facing a major relocation from their long-time homes in the months to come.

The city has plans to eventually demolish the aging buildings and start fresh, but the Louisville Metro Housing Authority (LMHA) is tasked with moving residents out first and ensuring they have a place to go.

"If you're a resident at Dosker Manor, you can't wait to get out," Executive Director Elizabeth Strojan said. "It feels like it's taking a really long time. I understand that -- I want to move faster too."

Voluntary move-outs are already underway, but the city can't proceed with full relocations until the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approves their plan.

HUD confirmed to WHAS11 that it's received LMHA's application, but said it's too soon to say how long it'll take to review it.

The decades-old public housing complex, the largest in Louisville, has been at the center of controversy for health and safety issues -- recently having two different power outages in one building within two weeks.

Over 50 families have moved out as part of voluntary relocation.
