Man Charged In Another Derby Stabbing

A city man already in police custody has been charged in connection to another stabbing on Hawkins Street.

Lt. Justin Stanko said Stephan Coney, 19, of Atwater Avenue, was charged Monday with first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree threatening in connection to a May 19 stabbing near the intersection of Hawkins and Cottage streets.

On that date, a 19-year-old man was stabbed during a large gathering in an alley, witnesses told the Valley Indy at the time. The victim sustained multiple stab wounds, but was able to walk a block to a store to call for help.

Coney is also accused of stabbing a man Thursday, July 8 in the parking lot of Over the Hill, a bar on Hawkins Street.

He is being held in jail in Bridgeport and is due back in court Tuesday.
