Police are looking for a man suspected in the stabbing of four young men, including three University of Maryland students, during a fight that began at a popular College Park bar.

University police chief Col. David Mitchell said he plans to try to shut down the bar, the Thirsty Turtle, which he said has a history of serving alcohol to underage people.

The fight began inside the Thirsty Turtle at about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. The men were asked to leave and the altercation continued outside.

Four people were cut, and a fifth broke a tooth. All were between the ages of 19 and 23. Police said the knifeman was a 6-foot-2 Hispanic man with a black mohawk haircut.
