This happened Thursday night at Clifton and West Armitage just after 11:30 p.m., CPD said.

Donald Trump said Tuesday night that Hillary Clinton's handling of private emails disqualifies her to serve as president. His own temperament, Trump said, was his "single greatest asset" and not the national security danger that Clinton alleges.

Sources told ABC7 the victim's girlfriend called 911 when someone entered their coach house apartment and stabbed the victim multiple times. He then fled the scene, police said.

Officers arrested Allen less than an hour later in the 1900 block of N. Seminary Ave., police said.

At this time the motive behind the attack is unclear. Allen is due in court for a detention hearing Saturday.

Police said victim was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center and at last check was in fair condition.
