INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD aggravated assault detectives arrested a man in connection with a weekend stabbing on Indianapolis' northwest side.
Just after 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2, IMPD Northwest District officers were called to 1100 Burdsal Pkwy on a report of a person stabbed.
Officers located a man who appeared to be stabbed multiple times. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Patrons in the parking lot of a nearby business pointed out a man walking down the street who they said stabbed the victim. Officers then detained 47-year-old Christopher Baptiste.
