Stabbing Results From Domestic Dispute At Motel 6 In Enfield

ENFIELD, CT — A domestic dispute Friday night between a couple involved in a year-long relationship ended with one person suffering stab wounds in the back and the other facing felony charges and a six-figure bond.

Around 8:57 p.m., police received a 911 call from the Motel 6 on Hazard Avenue, stating a person in the lobby had been stabbed. The 24-year-old victim was taken to an area hospital and reported to be in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.

Investigation revealed the victim had been involved in an argument in the motel parking lot, which escalated into a struggle which culminated in the stabbing. The suspect left the motel in a red Kia Sportage bearing Massachusetts plates, police said.

The suspect, Daniel Anderson, 28, was contacted by phone and subsequently spoke to investigators at the Enfield Police Department. He was charged with first-degree assault, third-degree assault and carrying a dangerous weapon, police said.

Anderson is being held in lieu of a $150,000 cash/surety bond, and is scheduled to appear Monday in Hartford Superior Court.
