ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – On October 3, 2020, a juvenile male was arrested and charged with attempted murder after stabbing a man in the neck.  At 3:38 am, patrol officers responded to McDonald’s located at 31 North Arkansas Avenue in reference to a report of a fight. Officers arrived to find two men who had been involved in the fight with one man, 24, suffering from a stab wound to his neck. The victim was bleeding heavily and Officer Ivaylo Ivanov rendered medical aid. The victim was transported to the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, City Division, with a serious injury. The victim is expected to survive.

Officers obtained a description of four males that were the aggressors involved in the fight that fled in a vehicle. Officers Sean McGettigan and Shawn Dansby located the vehicle and conducted a motor vehicle stop at Indiana and Marmora Avenue.
