Investigators said they determined that a passenger inside of the Acura was suffering from a non-life threatening stab wound to the abdomen from an assault that happened about an hour before on Main and Rosemont streets. The man was transported to the hospital for treatment, police added.
The driver of the Acura and someone who was inside of the fourth vehicle that was hit were also transported to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries, officers said.
The Hartford Police Department Major Crimes Division responded to investigate the stabbing.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Residents, city council members protest deadpool text from Hartford Police detective
City Councilman Josh Mitchtom said This is not a one-time incident. This is a manifestation of a rotten culture that must change. Author: Brian Didlake II Updated: 4:50 PM EST December 18, 2020
HARTFORD, Conn. Demonstrators and some city officials hit the streets Saturday days after a detective was suspended and demoted in Hartford.
The group says they are calling for change in the Hartford Police Department.
Even in the pouring rain, armed with nothing but a megaphone and a message, people shared their concerns about a text message from a Detective Jeffery Plazceck in the Hartford Police Department s Major Crimes Division.
Chances are good that the gun used to kill the person you read about on the streets of Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, Stamford, Danbury, Norwalk or Waterbury came from another state, often, but not always, down south where the laws are less stringent, authorities say.
And if a gun is in the hands of a criminal, it may well be used in multiple shootings and other crimes, authorities say.
“I’ve seen (evidence) of a gun being used in 10-15 different crimes” in Connecticut metropolitan areas, said Scott Riordan, resident agent in charge of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Connecticut Office in New Haven. “That’s how a lot of our gang cases are worked.”
