DEDHAM, MA — Dedham police are investigating a stabbing and armed robbery at the Holiday Inn Boston-Dedham Hotel & Conference Center.

Just before 6 a.m. on Wednesday, police received a call from a hotel room at the Holiday Inn. The caller reported a man had entered their room and threatened to shoot people inside, according to police. There were three men and three women inside the room when the man showed a semi-automatic gun and robbed the group, according to police.

The man left the scene after the robbery and police are still trying to find him. The man was described to police as a black man, about 5 feet 7 inches tall with a heavy build and was wearing a gray mask, black sneakers, a black sweatshirt and black pants.
