At 8:54 PM, Officers were dispatched to Yale New Haven Hospital’s Emergency Department after staff reported a stabbing victim to police.
Forty-one year old Milton Menafee, of New Haven, told Detectives he’d been walking on Baldwin Street. He said he’d been confronted by a black man and a Hispanic man (possibly a black man with a lighter complexion). One of the men began fighting with Menafee, who’d thought he was the target of a robbery attempt.
His assailant cut him several times before he and his accomplice fled. Menafee, bleeding from wounds to his temple and defensive wounds to his hands, walked to the nearby hospital for treatment. He hadn’t been robbed.
