Norwalk Man, 18, Charged with Felony Assault After March 3 Stabbing

Among four males arrested last week on charges of second-degree breach of peace after a fight in which a 22-year-old man was taken to the hospital with stab wounds, one of the four has now been charged with a more serious crime.

At 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, March 3, a large fight at the intersection of South Main Street and Grove Street was reported to police.

After the initial four arrests, police detectives investigated the incident further and sought an arrest warrant for Nasir Hilliard, 18, of Fairfield Avenue, charging him with first-degree assault, a felony. Prosecutors and a judge approved the warrant, and Hilliard was told it had been issued.

Hilliard went to Norwalk Police headquarters on Tuesday to turn himself in. His bond was set at $250,000. If he paid it, he was scheduled to appear March 18 in state Superior Court in Norwalk; if he was unable to pay it, he would have been taken to court Tuesday or Wednesday.
