Stratford police have arrested a local man who they said stabbed his roommate with a meat fork during an argument on Monday.
Police responded to 259 Jackson Avenue to investigate the report of a stabbing and Vincent Anka, 50, told officers that he’d been stabbed in the leg with a two-pronged meat fork during an argument with another resident.
Police identified the suspect as William Goerig, 64, who was in his room and waiting for officers, police said.
When police asked Goerig what happened, he told officers that he and Anka had argued, but then it turned into a physical fight.
During the fight, Goerig accidentally stabbed Anka with the fork, he said, according to police.
Goerig was arrested and taken into custody and charged with second-degree breach of peace and second-degree assault. He was unable to post bond.
Anka was issued a summons at the scene and charged with second-degree breach of peace, released and transported to the hospital for treatment.
