The first brother is a 30-year-old Burbank man who was stabbed in the head and torso. The second brother is a 20-year-old Chicago Ridge man who was stabbed in the face and back, police said.

Both men are hospitalized in serious condition at Advocate Christ.

Police believe the stabbings stemmed from an incident earlier in the evening at a family member’s residence in Chicago Ridge. Yasin is alleged to have followed both brothers to the parking lot where they had gone to check on a relative unrelated to the earlier incident at home.

Yasin is considered armed and dangerous. Police ask the public to call 911 immediately if they spot Yasin or his car.
