Officers arrived in the area in less than a minute and found the injured man being treated by a bystander. Officers provided medical assistance to the man, who was then taken to Norwalk Hospital with serious injuries, according to Podgorski.

Officers identified Gregory Goldstein, 26, of Norwalk, as the person responsible for the stabbing after interviewing witnesses, reviewing video surveillance footage and finding multiple pieces of evidence, Podgorski said.
