A Second Stabbing Case Already Moving Through Court
The Bernon Street report comes just days after Providence police made an arrest in an unrelated stabbing case from late October. Police arrested 20-year-old Nevaeh Van Allen in connection with a stabbing incident on California Avenue that sent two people to the hospital, as reported by turnto10.com.
Investigators in that case believe a dispute escalated into a physical confrontation in which Van Allen allegedly assaulted two victims with a box cutter. She was charged with two counts of felony assault and was expected to be arraigned that Thursday.

Police continue to investigate the Bernon Street case, and no additional details about the victim or a possible suspect have been made public.
