A 27-year-old man is facing criminal charges in connection with a fatal stabbing in Fitchburg early Tuesday morning, according to the Worcester district attorney’s office.
At around 5:27 a.m. Tuesday, Fitchburg police went to Chester Street for a report of a disturbance involving a knife, Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.’s office said. Arriving officers found a man suffering from apparent stab wounds. The man was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The man’s name was not immediately released.
Charles Ednerson was arrested in Brockton on Tuesday in connection with the stabbing. Ednerson, of Brockton, is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and armed assault with intent to murder, Early’s office said.
Prosecutors did not immediately detail how they identified Ednerson as a suspect.
Fitchburg police said Tuesday that the men knew each other.
“The preliminary investigation indicates this was not a random act, as the individuals involved were known to each other,” the police department wrote.
Ednerson is set to be arraigned in Fitchburg District Court Wednesday morning.
