Police are searching for a 23-year-old Bridgeport man who is accused of breaking into a New Haven home and stabbing his ex-girlfriend.
The home invasion and assault happened at a residence in the 700 block of Dixwell Avenue and it was reported at 1:47 a.m. Thursday, according to police.
Officers who responded requested an ambulance after finding a 23-year-old woman who had been stabbed in the torso.
She said she and her current boyfriend were in a bedroom when they heard a noise from the living room. When the boyfriend went to investigate, he saw the woman’s ex-boyfriend coming through a living room window, so he ran back to the bedroom and locked the door.
The ex-boyfriend forced his way into the room by kicking in the door and stabbed the woman with a kitchen knife, according to police.
The victim’s boyfriend chased after him, but the assailant fled in a black four-door Toyota sedan, according to police.
The woman’s 6-month-old child was in the bedroom at the time and was not harmed.
