Stabbing at Gigi's Cafe

From the Middletown Police Department

On 06/26/10 at approximately 1:32 am, the Middletown Police Department was notified by the staff at the Middlesex Hospital Emergency Department that a reported stabbing victim had just been dropped off by another individual who left immediately. A short time later it was learned that a brief altercation between two men had taken place outside of Gi-Gi’s Café, located at the corner of East Main Street and Flower Street. Patrol Units responded to the area of Gi-Gi’s Cafe, where a possible crime scene was identified.  There were no witnesses or suspects located at that time. 

The initial investigation found that one of the two individuals involved in the altercation sustained injuries which appear to be the result of a stabbing.  The victim that was dropped off at Middlesex Hospital was transported to Hartford Hospital via Life-Star, where he is currently being treated for his injuries and is listed in stable condition.  The initial investigation has found that the individuals involved in the altercation knew each other and that the assault was not a random act.  The names of the two individuals are not being released at this time, due to the on-going investigation. 

The incident is being investigated by the Middletown Police Department Major Investigations Unit. Any witnesses or individuals with information which could assist in the investigation are asked to contact the Middletown Police Major Investigations Unit at (860) 344-3240.
