A teen showed up at the Nebraska Medical Center just before 1:30 p.m. with a cut wound to the chest. Eighteen-year-old Tharian Wilburn told police he was walking in the area of 49th and S streets when he was approached by a man in his late teens or early 20s who demanded property from him. During an ensuing struggle, Wilburn was cut. He was driven to the hospital by private vehicle.
