Man charged in ‘unprovoked’ double stabbing in front of young children at Mass. campground
Both victims are expected to survive.
A 47-year-old Connecticut man is facing a slew of charges after he allegedly stabbed two men at a Massachusetts campground on Friday night in front of young children.
“Early investigations show that the stabbing was unprovoked,” the Berkshire County District Attorney’s Office said in a release.
The alleged attacker — Jeffrey Deluca, of Wilton — was arraigned Monday on the following charges: assault and battery by dangerous weapon (two counts), reckless endangerment of a child (three counts), armed assault with intent to murder (two counts), and assault and battery causing a serious bodily injury. He was held without bail.
The incident took place shortly after 8 p.m. at Mount Greylock Campground in Lanesborough. “One victim was stabbed in the chest and the other in the upper torso,” officials said. “The two victims were transported to Berkshire Medical Center and are expected to survive their injuries.”
