A man who was stabbed died early Monday in the Washington Park neighborhood on the South Side.

At 12:50 a.m., 36-year-old Harold Owens stumbled to his home in the 300 block of East 56th Street with the wound to the chest, according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Owens told officers he came back there after being stabbed; he then collapsed, police said. It was unknown where the attack occurred.

He was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 1:12 a.m. Monday, authorities said.

No one was in custody as Area Central detectives investigated.
