MANCHESTER, Conn. — The Manchester Police Department is searching for a suspect involved in a stabbing that sent a 19-year-old to the hospital on Monday evening.
According to police, at around 8:20 p.m. officers responded to the Dunkin’ at 255 Middle Turnpike West after a 911 call was received reporting a stabbing.
When police arrived, they discovered that both people involved in the altercation had left the establishment before their arrival. Police say the victim was taken to Manchester Memorial Hospital by private car.
According to witnesses at the scene, the suspect, who is believed to be homeless, was asked to leave the Dunkin' Donuts when a heated argument ensued. Police believe the victim, from Manchester who has not yet been identified, attempted to intervene in the dispute.
