PROVIDENCE, R.I. - A 22-year-old Johnston resident was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon early Saturday morning after a stabbing outside Olivia's Pub on Eddy Street, according to police.
The incident occurred around 1:50 a.m. when the victim, Unique Carter, 19, of Providence, apparently had an argument with another man outside the bar and was stabbed.
He suffered several stab wounds to the chest and stomach and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, police said.
Witnesses said the suspect fled on foot, but police later found a subject fitting witness descriptions near the intersection of Broad and Calla streets.
Fernando Joseph was sweating, out of breath and had blood on his hands and shirt and a knife in his possession. He was eventually taken into custody and charged in the incident.
