Randolph Man Stabs Coworkers At Cambridge Construction Site: Police

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Two people are suffering from serious injuries after getting stabbed Monday morning by a co-worker at a construction site in Cambridge, police said.

Carcensky Salvant, 21, of Randolph, is facing murder charges after police arrested him at the construction site Monday morning.

Salvant is facing two counts of armed assault to murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and assault and battery to collect a loan, the Cambridge Police Department said.

Officers were called to 55 Wheeler Street around 7:15 a.m. after receiving reports of a stabbing. Once they got to the scene, they arrested Salvant and recovered a folding knife from him.

One of the victims was on a ladder when Salvant stabbed him in the leg, while a co-worker who attempted to break it up was stabbed in the back, Cambridge Deputy Police Superintendent Pauline Wells said during a news conference.

A third co-worker, who police say has knowledge of Jujutsu, was able to get the knife away from Salvant and restrain him until officers arrived and arrested him, Wells said.

The two workers were found suffering from stab wounds and were taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, the Cambridge Police Department said.

Their names have also not yet been released.

According to the press conference, Wells said the incident apparently stems from an alleged debt that was owed to Salvant by the victim.

"The assailant kept saying, 'He owes me, he owes me,'" Wells said. "It was a pretty hairy scene."

Salvant is expected to be arraigned in Cambridge District Court Monday, police said.

An investigation remains ongoing.

No additional information was immediately available.
