BOSTON, MA—An early morning stabbing in Boston’s Downtown Crossing area has led to the arrest of a local man.
Boston Police Department officers responded to the scene at the intersection of Washington and Winter Streets at approximately 8:13 AM, where they found an adult male victim with multiple stab wounds outside of 10 Winter Place.
The victim was immediately treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital by Boston EMS with initially life-threatening injuries. His condition has since improved, and he is now expected to survive. Following the stabilization of the victim’s condition, the case was handed back to Area A-1 detectives for further investigation.
Calvin Spencer, 33, of Boston, was arrested at the scene on outstanding warrants related to previous offenses, including larceny over $250 and failure to register as a sex offender.
Further investigation connected him directly to the stabbing, and he is now facing charges of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon. Spencer is scheduled for arraignment in Boston Municipal Court on Thursday.
