The incident occurred in New Haven around 2:15 p.m., Saturday, July 6.
According to Officer Christian Bruckhart of the New Haven Police, officers were called to the emergency room of the St. Raphael’s campus of Yale-New Haven Hospital for the report of a stabbing victim who arrived by private vehicle.
The responding officers promptly set up a crime scene at the hospital's main entrance, where the vehicle was abandoned.
They were able to confirm that the assault took place on Orchard Street, but they were uncertain about the precise location, stated Bruckhart.

Bruckhart said the victim, a 26-year-old New Haven resident, was pronounced dead by medical personnel. He sustained several apparent stab wounds.
Detectives responded to process both scenes.
