Elmira man charged in stabbing incident
An Elmira man has been charged with assault after a reported stabbing incident Thursday morning in the Town of Horseheads.
State police were called early Thursday to investigate a stabbing that occurred in the parking lot of Roundin Third Regale on the Miracle Mile.
As a result of the investigation, troopers learned that Jeremiah A. Bailey, 19, of Elmira, had become involved in a verbal argument with a 31-year-old man inside the business. The argument continued outside, where it escalated into a physical confrontation, troopers said.
At that point, Bailey allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times. The victim then drove himself to Arnot Ogden Medical Center, where he is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Bailey left the scene and later turned himself in at the Horseheads state police barracks. He was interviewed and ultimately charged with second degree assault, a felony. Bailey was scheduled to be arraigned on the charge in Town of Horseheads Court.
