Woman Charged In Stabbing At Rest Stop In Fairfield: State Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — A New York woman has been arrested in connection with a stabbing at a rest stop off I-95 in Fairfield on Monday night, according to Connecticut State Police.

Troopers responded to a 911 call around 10:30 p.m. at the northbound rest area on I-95 in Fairfield. Troopers found a man bleeding profusely who was pointing to Kristin Allen who walked away toward the rest area and left while medical aid was administered, according to a news release.

The man had several lacerations to his right arm and leg, but the troopers stooped the bleeding by applying two tourniquets, police said, adding that the man told them the two had argued and it escalated into her stabbing him.

He was brought to Bridgeport Hospital for treatment for the stab wounds which police described as non-life-threatening.

Allen, 35, of Sound Beach, New York, was found on Tuesday outside of the rest area and taken into custody on an arrest warrant. She was charged with first-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace.

Allen was unable to post a $100,000 bond and was taken to York Correction Facility, according to police. She was scheduled to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court on Wednesday.
