Police are investigating after a New Haven man told officers a stranger stabbed him in the stomach several times outside his home Sunday night.
According to police, the 41-year-old victim was in front of his home on Brewster Street around 8:20 p.m. Sunday when a strange man approached.
Police said the man had his hands in the pocket of his sweatshirt. He got "too close" to the victim, so the victim pushed him away, at which point the suspect stabbed the victim in the stomach multiple times before running away.
A friend of the victim drove him to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
Police said the victim was not able to provide a description of the suspect.
