Police: Waterford Man, 70, Charged In Stabbing Incident

WATERFORD, CT—A reported stabbing led to the arrest of a 70-year-old Waterford man, police said. David Luzietti of 3 Thrush St., was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, according to Waterford Police Lt. Marc Balestracci.

The arrest stemmed from a July 4 incident where police were called by neighbors who reported a person had been stabbed. Balestracci said that once officers were on scene, the victim was provided immediate medical attention for non life threatening injuries and was transported to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital.

Luzietti was arrested "without incident" and transported to the Waterford Police Department where he was processed and held on a $100,000 cash/surety bond. He's scheduled to appear at New London Superior Court on Friday, July 5.

Balestracci wrote on Facebook, "This was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the community at this time."
