Video Shows Concord Garage Stabbing Victims Knifed Each Other

While the Concord Police Department has not released all the details of Sunday night’s stabbings incident in the Durgin Block Parking Garage downtown, video footage taken by a witness at the scene recorded the victims stating that they stabbed each other during some kind of altercation in the garage.

The witness, who did not wish to be identified, stated that he had just come home from work on Sept. 28, and was cleaning cigarette butts off the front steps of his apartment on Warren Street. After dumping the butts in a garbage can in Bicentennial Square, he began speaking to a hostess he knew at Margarita’s Restaurant when they both thought they heard a woman scream.

They both looked over at the Durgin Block Parking Garage and saw two people on the ground and others running from the scene.

The witness got on his bike and attempted to catch up with the individuals fleeing the scene. One of the individuals ran into the police station, apparently to report the incident.

The witness then rode his bike back to the garage as police arrived and turned his phone camera on.

On the video, the man and woman are seen on the ground, crying and screaming, speaking with police, and sometimes, yelling at each other.

“Oh my God, I’m going to die,” the man is heard screaming, after sustaining a stab wound to the chest. “Oh … I’m going to die.”

“I got stabbed in the leg,” the woman screeched a number of times, “and he tried to slit my throat … the guy, he tried to rape me.”

Police quickly cordoned off the area and New Hampshire State Police also arrived at the scene to assist. Officers are heard talking to the victims, trying to calm them down, before Concord Fire and Rescue teams whisked them away to Concord Hospital.

The witness stated that police had a number of other individuals detained for questioning about the incident.

The woman was released from the hospital the next day; the man, who sustained more serious injuries, had a longer stay at the hospital. Both individuals have criminal records, according to previous Patch reports and online information, but they are not being identified at this time because they have not been charged.

The day after the incident, Lt. Timothy O’Malley, the commander of the criminal investigations unit, said investigators were still speaking to witnesses about the case and charges were expected in the case.

Concord NH Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.
