Massachusetts man accused of stabbing food delivery driver in the Back Bay
A 45-year-old man is accused of stabbing a food delivery driver in the Back Bay, according to police who called the incident a “road rage stabbing.”
Randolph man Byron Alexander has been arrested, and he was set to be charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Boston police officers responded to a report of a stabbing near 10 Huntington Ave., on Tuesday at about 10:36 p.m.
Officers found a man inside a vehicle, suffering from multiple stab wounds. Officers provided first aid until Boston EMS arrived and transported the man to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
According to initial reports, the man and a passenger were delivering food to an address on Beacon Street — when they parked in front of another vehicle.
The driver of that vehicle, later identified as Alexander, moved his car and beeped his horn. The victim then drove around the block, but Alexander allegedly followed and tried to strike their vehicle.
“When both cars stopped at a red light, the suspect exited his vehicle and approached the victim’s car,” Boston Police said in a statement. “A confrontation occurred outside the vehicle, during which the victim was stabbed multiple times.”
Alexander then fled the scene, and the victim stopped at 10 Huntington Ave.
