Cops Investigating Stabbings Inside Concord Hotel And On South Street

CONCORD, NH — Two stabbing incidents, believed to be drug related but not connected, are being investigated by police and the Concord Regional Crimeline is asking for tips about the episodes, according to an alert. The first incident, according to Lt. Sean Ford, the commander of the criminal investigations unit of the Concord Police Department, occurred Tuesday night. Police were informed about the incident yesterday, after a man was treated at Franklin Hospital for stab wounds to the head and upper body.

“Investigators believe that the stabbing occurred at the Comfort Inn on Hall Street in Concord during the evening hours on May 23, 2017,” Ford alleged. “It is believed that the incident may have involved drugs.”

The second incident occurred last night at just before 11:30 p.m. Officers were sent to Concord Hospital to speak with a man who claimed he was attacked by a group of men in the area of 47 South St. in the South End, Ford stated.

“The victim received injuries to an arm and hand, consistent with having been stabbed,” he stated. “Little suspect information could be provided. It is believed that the incident may also have been drug related.”

The two incidents do not appear to be connected, Ford reported, while adding that both injuries were non-life threatening.

Police are asking the public for any information pertaining to either incident to contact Lt. Sean Ford at 603-225-8600 or the Concord Regional Crimeline 603-226-3100.
