HYDE PARK, Mass. — One person has died after being stabbing during a violent argument inside a Hyde Park barbershop on Tuesday.
The stabbing happened at around 5:45 p.m., just feet from a Boston Police station. Police arrested the suspect just before 10 p.m.
Witnesses said they saw the attacker run off as the wounded victim lay inside the barbershop.
The witness, who claims to know the victim and his wife told Boston 25 News the incident began as an argument outside La Familia Barbershop.
She said the victim, a man in his 40's, was the first one to become physical during the argument, whacking the suspect with some kind of object outside the shop.
At that point, the suspect began chasing the man inside the barbershop and began stabbing him.
The witness says she consoled the victim's wife after the incident broke out, without knowing he had died.
“I feel really, really bad for her, I can put myself in that situation," said the witness. "I don’t know what I’d do if my husband got stabbed. For everybody, I know it’s hard."
Investigators say they believe there is some type of connection between the victim and the suspect, but they do not speculate on a motive just yet.
Police are not identifying the victim, who was pronounced dead after being rushed to Brigham and Women's Hospital.
