C&G Newspapers WARREN, MICHIGAN Police are investigating a reported stabbing after a wounded man walked into a restaurant on the border of Warren and Hazel Park late on Dec. 20 and asked an employee to call 911. “He ended up in Hazel Park. He claims he was stabbed in Warren,” Warren Police Lt. Michael Torey said. The man, a 52-year-old Warren resident, reportedly entered Bray’z Hamburgers on the southwest corner of Nine Mile and Dequindre at about 10:45 p.m. with the black handle of a steak knife protruding from a wound in his chest. “He was proceeding from a friend’s house who resides on Eight Mile between Ryan and Dequindre. He claims he was walking north on Warner in front of Schofield Elementary School when he was approached by a black man,” Torey said. The man reportedly told investigating officers that the suspect was known to him as a drug dealer. The victim could not provide the suspect’s name, and described him only as being in his 40s, approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall with a medium build and a goatee, wearing a red parka with its hood up. The man said the suspect demanded money and that he was stabbed when he failed to provide it. The suspect reportedly fled west from the scene through the grounds of the nearby school and into the parking lot of the Warren Manor Apartments. The victim reportedly told police that he left in search of help, traveling in the same direction. He eventually arrived at the Bray’z restaurant, from where he was transported to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak after he was treated at the scene by the Hazel Park Fire Department. The man was expected to survive. Police said the investigation was ongoing. Anyone with information about the incident can reach Warren detectives at (586) 574-4810.
