Enfield Man Stabbed at Halloween Party

Enfield police are still investigating an incident in the east end of town Friday night that resulted in a man being stabbed in the chest.

Police Chief Carl Sferrazza said the victim had been trying to help a resident of a house at 62 Jackson Road clear out a Halloween party, after police had been called to the home earlier for a noise complaint.

Several witnesses told police the victim, who was not identified, was confronted by three young men near the road. One witness said the victim was punched in the face, then began yelling he had been stabbed, Sferrazza said.

The victim was transported to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, but his injuries were deemed non-life threatening, Sferrazza said.

His assailants were described as being 20 to 25 years old; one wore a jean jacket and another was clad in a black hooded sweatshirt. No one identified any of the men by name, the chief said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Enfield Police Department detective bureau at 860-763-6400.
