Police Say man Was Unaware Of knife in back

Jersey man stabbed in back, unaware for 10 hours.
A man from Trenton, New Jersey, was stabbed in the back and slept soundly with the wound for over 10 hours until the next morning, after admitting to some pain, his brother pointed it out. Apparently the man had gotten into a fistfight on his porch the night before, at 2AM after a night of drinking. Apparently a man had approached and asked to bum a light for a cigarette and, after refusing, an argument escalated to the point of violence.

After police were called, the next morning, to investigate they found the victim to be uncooperative. The victim did not release a description of the man, saying only that he didn’t feel like chasing after him the night before, and resisted suggestions to go to the hospital. The police finally convinced him to go to Capital Health Regional Medical Center to have the blade removed.

The description of the blade was not available and the damage done to the man is not expected to be life threatening. He will likely be released within a day of admittance and should be fine going forward. The authorities involved in the stabbing are still looking for any information on the attacker.
