NEW ROCHELLE, NY (April 1, 2026) — A 31-year-old man was found early Wednesday morning with stab wounds at 12 Church Street in New Rochelle and was taken to the hospital after suffering significant blood loss.
The call came in around 6:30 a.m. for a reported assault. The victim was transported to the hospital and underwent surgery after what was described as a significant amount of blood loss. He was believed to be in stable condition, pending confirmation, according to New Rochelle Police Capt. Collins Coyne, head of the department’s Criminal Investigation Unit.
Coyne said investigators believe the altercation began inside an apartment in the building and that the victim then went outside, where he was found bleeding on the sidewalk and someone called police.
Authorities believe the victim and a potential suspect may know each other, though the nature of that relationship remains unclear. No arrests had been made as of Wednesday morning, Coyne said.
The injury is believed to be to the victim’s upper leg, and investigators said it may have involved a nicked artery, which would explain the extent of the blood loss, Coyne said.
A pair of bloody shoes could be seen in the middle of the street, and there was also blood on the sidewalk. Church Street remained blocked off in front of the building as investigators worked inside and outside the scene.
Police were not providing additional information, saying it is still early in the case and the circumstances surrounding the stabbing are not yet known, as investigators continued working throughout the morning.
