Man Stabs Brother While Visiting Dad at Medical Facility: Cops

A 42-year-old Meriden man is facing charges after he stabbed his estranged brother in the parking lot of a physical rehabilitation facility in North Haven where their father is receiving treatment, according to police.

Police said Richard Jeannette was fighting with his brother Sunday evening outside a rehab center on Quinnipiac Avenue when the confrontation turned physical and Jeannette stabbed his brother in the chest.

The victim went home to Hamden and called police. Hamden Fire Rescue officials provided medical aid, then took the victim to a local hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening stab wound, police said.

Jeannette was arrested and charged with first-degree assault and disorderly  conduct. He was held on $100,000 bond and appeared in court Monday.
