Pittsfield Man in Critical Condition After Stabbing

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A Pittsfield man was in critical condition after sustaining at least one stab wound in a Tuesday night incident.

Around 10:18 p.m. on Oct. 1, police responded to the area of Kent Avenue for a reported stabbing.

"The subsequent investigation revealed that a 30-year-old Pittsfield resident had sustained at least one stab wound and he was transported to Berkshire Medical Center for treatment," according to police. 

"The victim's wound was considered life-threatening; he is still hospitalized and his last known condition was critical."

Investigators do not believe this was a random attack, and there is no known risk to the general public. A residence on Kent Avenue was searched by police late morning on Wednesday and a person of interest was identified.
