A 24-year-old man is facing charges in connection with a home invasion and triple stabbing in Taunton on Tuesday afternoon.
Cye Key of Taunton was arrested and charged with home invasion, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a Class B substance (cocaine), according to Taunton police.
Police said officers responded around 1:20 p.m. to Paul Bunker Drive for a report of a stabbing. At the scene, they found three Taunton men, one 19-year-old and two 21-year-olds, with injuries. The three men were taken to local hospitals for treatment. Police said Key was also taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
