Del. Man Goes on Christmas Stabbing Rampage: Cops

Man arrested for allegedly stabbing 3 in Wilmington

A Wilmington man allegedly went on a stabbing rampage early Christmas morning, Delaware State Police said.

Police arrested 44-year-old Vincent Stevens of Wilmington on Saturday. He allegedly stabbed two 24-year-olds and a 36-year-old during a gathering in an apartment, cops said.

The victims and Stevens know one another, said police.

“The victims were all stabbed multiple times about the face, head, neck, wrist, hands and legs,” police said. “The cuts that the victim sustained were determined to be significant requiring stitches and or surgery.”

All three victims were stabbed multiple times, but their injuries appear to be non-life-threatening.

Stevens was charged with assault and possession of a deadly weapon. He is being held on a $10,000 secured bond.
