Man stabbed outside Chelsea Market Basket in dispute possibly over parking space
CHELSEA - A Revere man is accused of stabbing another man outside the Market Basket in Chelsea Monday.
According to the police report, the incident appeared to stem from possibly a road rage or parking issue which escalated into an assault.
A 50-year-old man was stabbed in the parking lot at the store on Everett Ave. Court documents indicate his 11-year-old son was in the backseat of his car. The child allegedly told police he heard the confrontation but didn't see it.
The man was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston with what was described as non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said he was able to get the license plate of the suspect, who was later identified as 25-year-old Victor Rojas Avalos. Officers went to Avalos's home in Revere and arrested him without incident. They say a possible weapon was also recovered.
According to court documents, Avalos told police he was defending himself.
He was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. At his arraignment, a judge set bail at $500 and ordered Avalos to stay away from the victim and Market Basket.
