Police detained a Grays Ferry man for allegedly stabbing a male in their neighborhood.
Responding to a call for a person with a weapon, authorities ventured to the 2100 block of Taney Terrace at 3:50 a.m. June 12 and encountered the complainant bleeding severely from his right leg, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He pointed in the direction of a fleeing man and informed them he was the perpetrator.
They stopped him on the 2100 block of Bailey Terrace and arrested him following their recovery of evidence related to the crime, which the victim said occurred as a result of the offender attempting to steal a flat screen that he had intended to sell to a neighbor. They charged John Bell, of the 1900 block of South 29th Street, with possession of an instrument of crime, simple and aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person. The 50-year-old had not posted his $25,000 bail as of press time and awaits a July 23 preliminary hearing.
