Police are investigating after a man was stabbed in the chest in Middletown, Connecticut, on Thursday night.
Officers responded to Stoneycrest Drive just after 9:30 p.m. to investigate and found a victim had been stabbed during a fight. He was transported to Hartford Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
Police said his injuries are not life-threatening.
The suspect had fled and a police officer responding to the scene saw a 2010 Mercury Mariner speeding away from the area and apprehended the driver.
Police said the officer pulled over the suspect, a 34-year-old Hartford man, after he failed to obey a traffic control signal on Stoneycrest Drive at Newfield Street and the man later admitted to assaulting the victim.
Police found a knife and the license plate was also found to be from another vehicle, police said.
The suspect was charged with first-degree assault, second-degree disorderly conduct, carrying a dangerous weapon, misusing license plates and failing to obey a traffic control signal.
He was being held on $750,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on June 30.
