The Massachusetts State Police Union has released more details concerning a suicidal man that was being searched for in the Westport woods off of Route 6 near State Road Auto Sales.
According to the State Police Association of Massachusetts, on Wednesday, Westport Police requested the assistance of State Police to search for an injured suicidal individual. It was reported that the injured man had cut his own neck using a knife and then fled into the woods.
