MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Police in New Hampshire arrested a suspect in connection with the death Friday of a 75-year-old man who was stabbed on a recreational trail in Manchester.
At about 10:30 a.m. Friday, Manchester police said they received a 911 call for an adult male suffering from stab wounds on a trail at the western edge of Nutt Pond.
Police responding to the call discovered a 75-year-old man with apparent stab wounds. He received emergency medical treatment and was declared dead at the scene, according to investigators.
