Norwood Man Arrested After Stabbing In Roslindale

ROSLINDALE, MA — A Norwood man turned himself in to police Wednesday night after a stabbing incident that occurred in Roslindale earlier in the day, Boston Police said in a news release Thursday.

Hours after a stabbing on Washington Street at around 4:46 p.m. Wednesday, when authorities found a man who had been stabbed in the leg and transported them to the hospital, 27-year-old Charles Wilkerson turned himself in and was arrested and charged with Assault and Battery by means of a Dangerous Weapon, police said.

Officers said they found that the stabbing originated from a road rage incident between Wilkerson, who was operating a pick-up truck, and a man who had been driving a Brigham and Women’s Hospital shuttle, a spokesperson for the hospital told Boston.com.

The driver has since been released from the hospital, Brigham and Women’s told the outlet.

“It appears this was a random act of violence that occurred off property while the Shuttle Bus was stopped in traffic,” the statement to Boston.com read. “There are no concerns regarding employee or patient safety in connection with the incident at this time.”

Wilkerson began to fight with the victim before stabbing them, police said. He is expected to be arraigned in West Roxbury District Court.
