A man was severely injured in a stabbing Tuesday night in Princeton and a suspect was arrested.
Princeton police say officers responded to the report of a stabbing in the 300 block of North Seminary Street just after 5:30 p.m. and found 45-year old Joseph Traylor of Princeton lying on the roadway with a stab wound to the chest.
Officers applied life-saving measures to Traylor until EMS arrived and he was then transported to Caldwell County Hospital and later flown to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville.
The suspect, 19-year old Vyshown Christy of Princeton, returned to the scene about 10 minutes after police arrived and turned himself in—later confessing to the crime, according to police.
He was arrested and charged with assault in the first-degree.
