A man is facing charges in connection to a double stabbing in Southbridge.
According to police, on Sunday, September 3 around 1:12 a.m. officers responded to a business on Pleasant Street to investigate the report of a stabbing.
Upon arrival, officers found two people suffering from stab wounds and determined the suspect, later identified as Jose Luis Mandujano, 31, of Southbridge, fled the area.
One of the victims sustained a laceration on the hand and the other was stabbed in the chest. Both victims were transported to the hospital to receive treatment for non-life-threatening injuries, police say.
