Fight at Conn. Newspaper Ends in Stabbing

A Stamford Advocate employee is charged with stabbing a colleague in the neck with a box cutter during a fight at the newspaper's warehouse Saturday morning.

Jose Danilso-Pedroza,55, was charged with assault, possession of a dangerous weapon, and breach of peace, police said.

The 38-year-old co-worker's injuries were not life-threatening.  He was treated at Stamford Hospital and released.

Police have not said what prompted the fight, which was reported around 4 a.m. Saturday at the newspaper's warehouse in Stamford's Springdale section.

The Advocate reported that Danilso-Pedroza was being held later Saturday on $100,000 bond, and is due on Stamford Superior Court on Dec. 13.
