A 33-year-old Dorchester man was allegedly stabbed in the back several times during a fight early this morning at Whiskey’s Smokehouse bar and restaurant in the Back Bay, Boston Police said.

The suspect was described by witnesses as a black male with dreadlocks and a tattoo on his forearm that said “Washington,” according to police. He was wearing black clothing. Officers said they found a black hat that is believed to belong to the suspect.

The injured man was hospitalized but is expected to recover, officials said.
