Carol Stream police said in a press release Wednesday that officers discovered "a chaotic scene" when they arrived at the complex.
All six people were transferred to Central DuPage Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said.
After preliminary investigation, it appeared a 34-year-old man who lives in the apartment was attacked by several relatives and friends of his girlfriend who lives there with him, police said. He reportedly stabbed the six people in an attempt to defend himself, as they hit and kicked him.
The incident remains under investigation.
