Police Blotter: Port Chester Man Stabbed, Hospitalized

A 19-year-old Port Chester man suffered a pierced lung after being stabbed.

Stabbing: A 19-year-old Port Chester resident told New Rochelle Police a man put a knife to his throat between 9:30 and 10 a.m. April 1 and robbed him while he was waiting for his cousin at the intersection of Beechmont Drive and Pinebrook Boulevard.  

Captain Joseph Schaller said the two fought for control of the knife, causing defensive wounds to the victim's arms and hands. He was ultimately stabbed in the upper-part of his back with the blade puncturing his lung. He was taken to where he remains in critical but stable condition, Schaller said. The victim's cellphone worth $30 was stolen.

The suspect was described as a white man wearing baggy jeans and work boots.
