An overnight stabbing in downtown Hamilton has sent a man to hospital with a neck wound.

But police say the 20-year-old isn’t telling them exactly what happened just before 1:30 this morning, even though he was calm and able to speak to them.

Police describe the wound as a slash as opposed to a deep cut.

Canine units searched the area of James Street North and King William Street for any sign of the attacker or a weapon.  James St. was blocked off from King to York.

The area re-opened to traffic by 4 am.
