CONCORD, NH — A felon with a criminal history dating back more than a decade is lucky to be alive on Sunday morning after reportedly being stabbed by a resident of Broad Cove Drive during a car break-in incident.
At around 4:45 a.m., Concord police were sent to the drive, just off Carter Hill Road, after a woman called 911, reporting her husband and son had a man pinned on the ground outside their home. The man pinned on the ground was attempting to break into one of their vehicles, the dispatcher relayed to officers.
Several cruisers were then sent to the home. Dispatch told officers heading to the scene the suspect was “belligerent.” While still speaking with the woman, the dispatcher told officers the car break-in suspect had been stabbed by one of the men, according to scanner chatter. Dispatch requested firefighters and EMTs to stage. The caller said the cut appeared to be “a superficial wound.”
