NEW BEDFORD, MASS. (WPRI) - A late night stabbing in New Bedford is under investigation.
According to New Bedford Police, Massachusetts State Trooper Paul Gifford discovered the victim after he came across a disturbance at 149 Tinkham Street around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The 25-year-old victim was found by Gifford in a third-floor apartment front hallway suffering from a stab wound to the chest.
