Man Looks To Buy Pot, Gets Robbed Instead: New Haven PD

NEW HAVEN, CT — A man who was looking to buy some marijuana got stabbed twice instead, according to police.

The 21-year-old victim told police he was shopping at a Grand Avenue bodega when he asked four men outside where he could purchase some marijuana, said Officer David Hartman, police spokesman.

One of the men told the victim to walk around the corner to Filmore Street. The victim told police he was stabbed in the arm as he left and was then stabbed a second time as he grabbed on to his assailant, Hartman said.

The men took about $100 from the victim, who was driven to Yale-New Haven Hospital by his mother.

"A crime scene wasn’t evident to the officers sent to search for it," Hartman said.
