State police say he was "alive and stable" as of late Tuesday night.
An 18-year-old Beverly man was arrested in connection with the stabbing after crashing a stolen vehicle in downtown Wakefield.
Lt. Steven Skory says the altercation appears to be an isolated incident between the two parties, who knew each other.
