The woman, who is listed in serious, but stable condition at St. Vincent's Medical Center, was stabbed on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 1015 Fairfield Ave., said Bridgeport Police Capt. Brian Fitzgerald
An investigation determined that the victim was stabbed by her boyfriend, Universal Yancey, 30, of Bridgeport, Fitzgerald said.
Yancey fled the location of the stabbing before police arrived. Yancey then stole a 2013 Ford Focus from a nearby gas station that was later recovered, he added.
Friday, Sept. 27, detectives secured an arrest warrant for Yancey charging him with criminal attempt at murder, but have not located him.
"Citizens should not approach Yancey, he is considered potentially armed and dangerous," Fitzgerald said.
Anyone with information regarding Yancey's whereabouts is asked to contact Bridgeport Police at 203-576-TIPS or call 911 if Yancey is spotted.
