Suffolk Woman Stabs Man In Connecticut Rest Stop Fight: Cops
Police say the man was found "bleeding profusely" and when he pointed at her, she fled, only to be found a day later.
SOUND BEACH, NY — A Sound Beach woman stabbed a man she fought with at a rest stop off I-95 in Fairfield, Connecticut, on Monday, state police said.
Troopers responding to a 911 call around 10:30 p.m. found the man bleeding profusely, and he was pointing to Kristin Allen who walked away toward the rest area and left while medical aid was administered, according to a news release.
The man had several lacerations to his right arm and leg, but the troopers stopped the bleeding by applying two tourniquets, police said, adding that the man told them the two argued, and it escalated into her stabbing him.

He was brought to Bridgeport Hospital for treatment of the stab wounds, which police described as non-life-threatening.
Allen, 35, was found Tuesday outside the rest area and faces charges of first-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace, police said. She didn't post $100,000 bail, so she was taken to York Correction Facility, according to police.
