Massachusetts State Police Troopers responded to a stabbing today that occurred on the Charles River Esplanade in Boston in the area of the footbridge between the Esplanade and the Lagoon, roughly parallel to the intersection of Dartmouth Street and Storrow Drive
The stabbing occurred at approximately 3:50 p.m. and the victim, a young woman, was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital where she is receiving emergency treatment. Her injuries are not believed to life-threatening at this time.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the victim does not know the suspect and that the victim was running or walking by herself when she was attacked.
The suspect was apprehended at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Dartmouth Street after a foot pursuit and a struggle, during which a Trooper was forced to discharge his electronic control weapon to subdue the suspect and end the violent threat the man was posing to responding Troopers and other people in the area. A weapon that was in the suspectโs possession was recovered and secured.
The suspect is being booked at a State Police Barracks.
This police have stated this criminal has other outstanding warrants, but no one says for what crimes. This information should be known to the public. Also, is this creep an illegal alien? Thank goodness the woman is alive, but will suffer psychological harm, as well as physical pain. We should be proud of the work the state trooper catching this dangerous criminal.
