Police: Boston Man In Custody After 3 Stabbed In Hyde Park
BOSTON (CBS/AP) – A 51-year-old Boston man has been arrested after allegedly stabbing three kids in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston.
Boston police say the stabbing occurred on River Street around 1 p.m. on Saturday. Officers were initially searching for suspects, but a short time later reported that one was in custody.
Rock Aurelien has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, knife.
Spokesman Officer Stephen McNulty said the three victims' injuries are non-life-threatening, but one is more seriously hurt than the other two. They are being treated at a hospital.
Police say the victims are ages 15, 12 and 9.
Neighbor Delores Aguilan says her little boy heard them running and screaming down the hall.
Lizanna Guzman, a neighbor of the victims, was still shaken after she says a teenage boy and his little brother came running to her doorstep.
"He was covered in blood and screaming 'The man's coming to kill me...call 911,'" she said.
Guzman called police, and moments later the boys' older sister also showed up.
"The middle child and the teenage girl...(their) clothes were shredded...(they were) hysterical...asking for help," she says.
In their panic, the kids kept running down the block to a convenience store.
"He was just saying...'Please save my life. I don't want to die,'" says Musavi Fardin, a clerk at River Park Food Mart, adding that they were quite scared.
When the clerk called 911, police were already on their way from the first call. It didn't take long to track down the suspect, and get the three wounded children to the hospital.
