Police investigating strange stabbing in city
NORWICH – The Norwich Police Department is investigating a stabbing that took place Saturday morning after a man came to the police station with two stab wounds to his chest.
Jacob A. Wilkes, 24, Sherburne, drove himself to the city police station seeking aid at about 7 a.m. Saturday, claiming he had been stabbed at an apartment at 16 Sheldon St. an hour earlier.
The Norwich Fire Department ambulance transported Wilkes to Chenango Memorial Hospital, where he was taken into surgery.
Police said Wilkes had been stabbed twice in the chest with an unidentified object right below his sternum. “We’ve investigated stab wounds in the past. This was a serious injury, but he was able to receive immediate medical attention. We did not believe the wound to be life-threatening from our past experiences, but again this was very serious,” said Norwich Police Chief Joseph Angelino.
Police officers, led by Deputy Chief Rodney Marsh, executed a search warrant Saturday afternoon at the alleged location of the incident on Sheldon Street.
“Evidence supporting an assault was removed from the scene,” said Angelino.
Police are still sorting out the circumstances of the incident and holding off from making an arrest, he said.
“We have learned there was a physical confrontation at approximately 6 a.m. Saturday between the residents of the apartment when Mr. Wilkes arrived at the residence uninvited,” said the chief.
Angelino said police knew everyone who was in the apartment at the time of the incident and had spoken to eyewitnesses.
Investigators are treating the case as an assault because of the nature of the injuries the victim sustained and not as an attempted murder, explained Angelino.
“We don’t have anyone in custody for this. We are still investigating and from what we have learned so far, I don’t feel the public at large is in any danger,” he said.
