Dartmouth Police are reporting an incident with a knife that occurred over the weekend.
On Sunday, October 28 at approximately 6:32 p.m., Dartmouth Police responded to Rite-Aid on Dartmouth Street, after receiving a report of a man holding a knife to his own throat.
Upon arrival, Sergeant Scott Stanton and Officers Victor Morency and Darren Emond located the male party behind the business.
While Officer Emond engaged the male in conversation, Officer Morency was able to discreetly position himself in such a way that it allowed him to safely disarm and restrain the male.
The fifty-six year old male was subsequently transported to St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, where an Application for Temporary Involuntary Hospitalization (Section 12) form was filed on him.
According to DPD, no one was injured as a result of the incident.
