Route 1 Motel Stabbing May Have Been Drug Related

Drugs may have played a part in a stabbing that took place at a Route 1 motel on Sunday.

Foxborough Police Chief Ed O’Leary told the Sun Chronicle that evidence collected at the scene indicates that a transition of illegal drugs may have been part of the incident.

He adds that the investigation is going at a slow pace due to an uncooperative victim and witness.

On Sunday at around 1:30 p.m., Foxborough police responded to a reported stabbing at the Gaad Motel. The victim, a 43-year-old male, was flown to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston on a medflight from the Gillette Stadium practice fields during a Patriots game against the Dolphins.

The victim checked himself out of the hospital at 2 a.m. Monday morning.

The investigation, as well as the search for two people who were in the room during the stabbing remain ongoing.
