Six Stabbed at 1-Year-Old's Birthday Party Mon Oct 24,11:06 PM ET



EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - Six people were stabbed early Sunday during a
melee at a 1-year-old's birthday party, police said. It apparently
started when a downstairs neighbor went upstairs to complain about
the noise.



The injured were taken to Hartford and St. Francis hospitals, where
they were treated for stab wounds to their faces and necks. All were
later released.

Police said they received several 911 calls around 12:45 a.m. They
arrived at a two-family home on Crosby Street to find dozens of
people running around in a thunderstorm. Some were screaming and
bleeding.

Most spoke only Spanish, adding to the chaos. A Spanish-speaking
officer from Manchester was eventually brought into translate.

Four carloads of men showed up to join the fight and police said some
may have been affiliated with a gang.

Sgt. Ed Perkins said that as he arrived he saw one person in the road
beating another person with a chair.

Officers said they found a knife hidden under the child's birthday
cake. No children or police officers were injured.

Eight people were arrested. Two were treated for injuries at the
hospital and released.

Police detained so many people that they ran out of regular
handcuffs. Then they ran out of temporary flexible restraining
devices and had to call for more.

East Hartford's emergency management director found housing at local
hotels for at least eight children and 12 adults displaced when the
apartment became a crime scene. Police were interviewing witnesses to
find out what sparked the brawl.
