HAMDEN–While two people were being taken to the hospital after a fight, police say one of the suspects have assaulted the emergency personnel in the ambulance.
On July 30, around 3:30 p.m., Hamden Police responded to an apartment on State Street for a report of a domestic dispute involving a knife. They found a man, Andrew Stolar, lying on the floor with multiple wounds.
It was determined that Stolar and his roommate, Shawn WIlliams, got into a physical fight. Both were arrested and transported in separate ambulances to Yale-New Haven Hospital.
The ambulance transporting Stolar returned to the State Street home shortly after departing because he had gotten off the stretcher and assaulted two of the American Medical Response EMTs.
Police who were still at the scene investigating restrained Stolar.
Stolar, 32, was charged with two counts of assault on emergency medical personnel and disorderly conduct. He was held on a $25,000 bond and appeared in court on Friday.
Williams, 52, was charged with disorderly conduct. He was held on a $25,000 bond and was also due in court on Friday.
Six police officers were taken to the hospital for evaluations for possible blood exposure and/or injuries.
