Man Stabbed, Jumped From Window Of Reading Home: Police

READING, MA — Police are investigating after a man fled a home in Reading with apparent stab wounds Friday morning.

Officers were called to Prescott Street around 8:30 a.m. by a person who reported hearing yelling coming from the home. The caller then saw a man jump from a window and flee in a car that was waiting outside, police said.

The man was found sitting on the sidewalk about a block away near the car. He had deep lacerations and multiple cuts, which investigators believe were caused by a knife and broken glass from the window, police said.

The man was taken to an area hospital. A NEMLEC SWAT team was called to clear the home and found no one else inside, police said.

"Reading police are continuing to investigate, and there is not believed to be any threat to the community in connection with the incident," police said in a statement.

Prescott Street remained closed from Woburn Street to Sunnyside Street Friday afternoon.
