Mashantucket Pequot Tribal police said the victim was stabbed during a fight shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday at the Centrale Fox Tower bar at Foxwoods Resort Casino.

Authorities said Sunday that the victim, Donovan Alves, 34, of Providence, was in stable condition at a hospital in Norwich.

Police charged Robert Haines, 40, of Chicopee, Massachusetts, with breach of peace and third-degree assault, both misdemeanors. Officials said Haines was not charged with stabbing Alves. It's not clear who stabbed Alves.
