A teenager was killed and four people were critically wounded
after they were stabbed while tubing on a busy Wisconsin river
on Saturday, authorities said.

St. Croix County Sheriff Scott Knudson described the scene as
"chaotic" and "scary."

"I'm sure that anybody that witnessed it will never forget it,"
he told reporters during a press briefing Saturday. "It is a
tragedy."

Five people were stabbed with a knife while tubing on the Apple
River in Somerset Saturday afternoon, the sheriff said.

A 17-year-old boy from Minnesota was transported to an area
hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Knudson said.

The four other victims were all believed to have critical
injuries, he said. Two victims were transported out of the hard-
to-reach area by helicopter and several ambulances responded.

The surviving victims included one woman and three men, all in
their early 20s, the sheriff said.

A suspect had fled the scene but was taken into custody without
incident, the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff said he was a 52-year-old man from Minnesota. A
bystander took a photo of him, which helped authorities in
locating him, he said.

Authorities were searching the area for the knife used in the
attack and were interviewing a "number of witnesses", Knudson
said.

"We're actually in the process of trying to divert some of the
tubing traffic around our crime scene," he said. "That alone is
causing some challenges trying to get them off the river, and
gathering up what we can in a hard-to-get-to area.

It is unclear what led up to the attack, Knudson said.

There is no further threat to the public, the sheriff's office
said.

Somerset is located near the Wisconsin-Minnesota border, about
35 miles east of Minneapolis.

The Apple River is a popular destination for tubing and camping.
