Police Hunt for “Angel” After Stabbing on Joseph Lane

Published
Teenager Recovering After Stabbing at Perry Bay

Police are investigating a late-night stabbing that occurred on Joseph Lane in the early hours of Monday morning, leaving a 42-year-old man nursing a wound to his back under unexplained circumstances.

According to reports, the victim arrived at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre around 2:00 a.m., where emergency doctors treated him for a single stab wound.

He reportedly told investigators that he had parked his vehicle nearby and was returning to it when he saw a woman striking the rear of his car.

When he confronted her, a heated exchange followed. Moments later, a man who he knows only as “Angel” appeared and, without warning, stabbed him once in the back before both fled the scene on foot.

Despite his injuries, the victim managed to drive himself to the hospital for treatment. Medical officials confirmed that he received several sutures and is listed in stable condition.

Police have since visited the location and launched a probe into the incident. The motive behind the attack remains unclear, and no arrests have yet been made.

    I know that it’s illegal to park on Joseph Lane, but that was one helluva price to pay for illegal parking

    Post your notices in Spanish for the residents of that area. They deliberately feign ignorance when it’s convenient. Why and for how much longer should these DR refugees continue to ride rough shod over the local population?

      at faithful national #1. Why are we discriminating against them, tho? Black people are more violent.

    Funny how some of these nicknames sound so innocent until you hear the full story. ‘Angel’ clearly has some serious explaining to do. Hoping the police find them before anyone else gets hurt.
