A Windsor teen is accused of stabbing a 23-year-old man several times in Rhode Island on Sunday night and he has been charged with assault with intent to murder.
It happened around 9:15 p.m. Sunday on Lake Drive in the Pascoag section of Burrillville, Rhode Island, just over the border from northeastern Connecticut, according to Burrillville police.
Police said a woman had gotten into an argument with her 23-year-old boyfriend because he suspected she was intoxicated and would not allow her to drive.
The woman then called her mother who sent the 16-year-old brother to pick her up, police said, and he arrived at the house with two 17-year-old friends from Connecticut.
