Three men were injured in separate stabbings in Rhode Island and Massachusetts during New Year’s Eve revelries that turned violent after midnight, according to police reports.
Two of the three men were hospitalized, one of them in serious condition.
One stabbing occurred in Somerset, Mass., just after 1 a.m.; the others were reported in Providence, closer to daybreak.
Somerset police were called to 328 Wood St., where witnesses said more than two dozen people were fighting outside a home, according to a detective.
The fighting broke out after some unwanted arrivals showed up a party being thrown by a teenager whose parents were out for the evening.
“A little melee ensued” when they were asked to leave, said Detective Sgt. Jay Borges.
Later, Fall River police reported that a man stabbed in the fight turned up at Charlton Memorial Hospital in Fall River.
The man, Logan Bence, 20, of Somerset, was stabbed in the chest during the fight by an unidentified attacker, Borges said.
“No one saw the actual stabbing,” Borges said.
Bence was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was in fair condition yesterday, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
The police arrested Jared Pelletier, 18, of 13 Buxton Ave., Apt. 3, during the Somerset incident on charges unrelated to the stabbing. He was charged with assault, resisting arrest and threatening to commit a crime. He was released on bail yesterday and is due to be arraigned today. Providence police were searching yesterday for the suspects who attacked two men at parties in South Providence.
Nestor Angeles, 20, was stabbed several times during an early-morning fight outside 83 Byfield St., where he was attending a small New Year’s Eve party, according to a police report.
Witnesses said Angeles and an unidentified man argued during the party and were told to leave. The two confronted each other outside, and Angeles allegedly hit the other man with a beer bottle, according to the police. That’s when the attacker stabbed him, perhaps as many as six times.
The attacker fled, leaving the knife behind.
Angeles was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, where he remained in serious condition yesterday after undergoing surgery.
In the third incident, 19-year-old Jose Rivera, of 298 Oxford St., Providence, suffered several small stab wounds at a Sumter Street party. Rivera apparently then walked to Broad and Sumter streets, where he was found by a passerby, who called the police. Rivera was taken to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment. His condition is unclear.
