Three veteran Windsor Locks police officers faced bloody mayhem Thursday night as a man repeatedly stabbed a woman in a hotel vestibule.
The 28-year-old victim was in critical but stable condition Friday morning, Detective Sgt. Jeff Lampson said. Lampson credited the responding officers with a “textbook” response in saving the woman and taking her attacker into custody.
The first 911 call came in from Candlewood Suites on Ella Grasso Boulevard. A hotel guest said she saw a man and a woman struggling outside a room and the man was holding a knife, Lampson said. A second call reporting an active assault came in minutes later from a worker at the adjacent Days Inn.
