CFD aids Stoughton stabbing victims
Canton paramedics were called to Page Terrace in Stoughton on Sunday night to assist with a double stabbing incident that left two adult victims with severe, life-threatening injuries. The alleged assailant, 29-year-old Paul O’Brien, reportedly confessed to the stabbings in a 911 call and was found outside the apartment with blood on his hands and face. Police said the victims were his mother and stepfather.
Canton’s Field Transfusion unit was called to assist at the scene, and Canton and Stoughton paramedics worked together to treat the female victim, who was given blood and transported by ambulance to Boston Medical Center. The male victim also suffered multiple stab wounds and was med-flighted to a hospital for treatment.
O’Brien, who lived with the couple, was taken into custody and charged with two counts of armed assault on a person 60+ with intent to murder, and two counts each of A&B, A&B with a dangerous weapon on a person 60+, and A&B with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury.
