Two inmates housed in the Mobile County Metro jail were stabbed during an altercation Thursday morning, apparently with a knife one of the suspects had hidden as he was being processed.

The Mobile Fire-Rescue Department responded to the jail after receiving reports of multiple stabbings shortly after 9 a.m. No officers were involved or injured, and no deaths have been reported, but two inmates were wounded when one produced a knife during an altercation.
