Noah Walsh was one of the three people stabbed in a random attack on Highgate Street at Cambridge Street in Allston on Oct. 3. Yesterday, he posted about the attack, its aftermath and what we need to do to help people like his attacker - starting with how the man stabbed one friend in the back, puncturing his lung, ripped open a huge gash in his other friend's face and then turned to him, plunging a knife into his neck.
