Jun. 5—MANCHESTER — Police are investigating a serious stabbing incident Saturday afternoon, according to Lt. Ryan Shea.

Police were dispatched to 21 Carver Lane at 11:57 a.m. for a reported stabbing and found an injured 68-year-old man.

The victim was taken to Hartford Hospital, and there is no further update on the extent of his injuries at this time.
