Nashua Man Arrested After Knife Threat: Police

NASHUA, NH — A Nashua man was arrested after threatening an individual with a knife, police said Tuesday. Eric Dafopoulos (pictured), 36, was charged with domestic violence and obstructing the report of a crime, according to Nashua police Lieutenant Robert Page.

Page said on Sunday night, officers were called to a city residence for a report of a domestic dispute.

"Officers discovered that the victim ... was threatened by Dafopoulos while he was armed with a knife," Page said in a statement. "When the victim attempted to call police, Dafopoulos took the victim’s cell phone to prevent the victim from reporting the incident."

Officers tracked Dafopoulos down Monday at about 7 a.m. and arrested him. He was held on $1,000 bail pending an arraignment Tuesday in Hillsborough County Superior Court.
