A 29-year-old Dover man is in custody after two men were stabbed during an argument on Whatcoat Drive in Dover on Saturday afternoon, police say.
Officers responded to the area of 950 Whatcoat Drive at about 1:59 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, after reports of a stabbing. According to investigators, a verbal argument escalated when the suspect produced a concealed instrument believed to be a knife and stabbed one man twice. A second man who approached during the confrontation was also stabbed. Both victims, both 32 years old, suffered upper-body stab wounds and were taken to a hospital, where one required emergency treatment for life-threatening injuries.
The suspect was arrested without incident on Wednesday, October 28, in Smyrna, through a joint effort by the Dover Police Department, the U.S. Marshals Service First State Fugitive Task Force, and Probation and Parole. He faces two counts of first-degree assault, possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, and carrying a concealed deadly weapon. He was committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of $151,000 cash bond.
No names have been released in the case.
