SUFFERN – A 23-year-old Suffern man
has been charged with felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon
after he allegedly stabbed his father several times in the head with a
screwdriver.
The incident occurred at 11 a.m. on Wednesday at 48 Ramapo Avenue. When
village police arrived on the scene, they encountered a man coming out
of the residence covered in blood. He told officers his son and he had
gotten into a verbal argument which escalated quickly when the son picked
up a screwdriver and attacked him.
Police did not release the names of either the suspect or victim.
The son was apprehended a short time later when officers saw him run into
a public restroom in the police station lobby.
A Suffern Police K-9 unit located the screwdriver on the railroad tracks
behind the home.
The victim was treated at Good Samaritan Hospital and the son was remanded
to the Rockland County Jail without bail.
