A seemingly ordinary Wednesday night in Boston's Mattapan district took a grim turn after a stabbing incident left one man injured and another under arrest. Boston Police officers assigned to the B-3 unit apprehended 70-year-old Joseph J Marrow from Dorchester at the scene of the crime, which occurred near 442 River Street in Mattapan, as reported by Boston Police Department News.
The call came in just before the clock struck ten, and upon arrival, officers found an adult male with a non-life threatening stab wound, he was then promptly transported to a local hospital for treatment and Marrow, who was still present at the scene, was detained; he is now facing assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charges and is slated for arraignment at Dorchester District Court.
On the same eventful night, River Street was cordoned off between Blue Hill Avenue and Fremont Street as the investigation unfolded well into the late hours, a scene witnessed by both residents and local media. The ongoing probe aims to knit together the moments that led up to the altercation, with further details scant as of now about the circumstances of the attack or the condition of the victim, whose plight added yet another chapter to the sporadic thread of violence that has touched this community according to a report shared by Hoodline.
