Two troopers stabbed after traffic stop
BOLIVAR — Two state troopers were stabbed after a stop at a convenience store around 3:25 p.m. Saturday.
State Police at Amity located a stolen vehicle in the village and performed a vehicle and traffic stop in the parking lot of Crosby’s Gas Station.
During the arrest of a female suspect, she violently resisted and stabbed one Trooper just above the eye and another in the head. In response to the assault, one of the Troopers discharged their Division-issued firearm, but did not strike the suspect.
The suspect was taken into custody with minor injuries. The Trooper who suffered an eye injury is in serious condition and is being transported to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment.
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation is assisting, and charges are pending.
