FAIRFIELD — When police and rescue personnel responded to a reported stabbing Tuesday morning on Crane Drive, a 38-year-old man refused treatment and did not provide any details about how he suffered a small puncture on his stomach.
Fairfield police Chief John Emery said a relative of the man called for medical and police personnel at 9:46 a.m. The relative, Emery said, claimed the man had been stabbed two hours earlier when he had walked to the store.
Emery said responders reported seeing a red area with a superficial wound on the male’s stomach, but no blood.
“He refused to cooperate,” said Emery. “We have very little information. He said he said he didn’t remember anything … where it happened, who it involved or what happened.”
Emery said there had been no reports Tuesday morning of an altercation in Fairfield.
He said if a person needs of medical attention and refuses it, the person is taken into protective custody and treatment is provided.
