Ex-girlfriend settles score with box cutter

BRIDGEPORT — An encounter with a friend’s ex-girlfriend — and a box cutter — left a woman with numerous cuts to her face and other body parts Friday night.

According to police reports, shortly after 10 p.m., a woman reported that she had been driving around on Trumbull Avenue with a friend, when a woman, identified only as “Danyell,” jumped into the car while it was parked. “Danyell” was the ex-girlfriend of the woman’s friend, and immediately began yelling at the woman, and calling her profane names.

While the two were fighting, Danyell reportedly grabbed a box cutter that the woman had in her coat and allegedly swung it at the woman, slashing her on her face, arms, legs, and back. Danyell then got out of the car and left the scene. Danyell was described as a Brazilian female, with a light complexion and red hair. She is about 5 feet 2 inches tall and had a heavy build.

The woman was treated for her injuries at St. Vincent’s Medical Center.

Down From My Perch

my-blog-photo2

I got an offer to watch the Ct United 9/11 Motorcycle Riders ride below one of two huge American Flags strung between FD hook and ladder trucks from the Fairfield FD. Once on the truck a voice from the Milford FD hook and ladder across the street yelled, “Phil, wanna go up in our bucket”. I had no choice the bucket was too enticing .It would be a great view from above. It was a great idea until I was getting a safety harness on. I’m not afraid of heights. I climbed a mast or two at sea on a few aircraft carriers but I’m not 20 anymore. Anyway, I said I would so off I went. I was fine until 3/4 of the way up I stopped and looked up and out ..dumb..my stomach went one way and my head the other. It took a second but finally I reached the top. Thank You FF Dunn and all the guys who gave me the chance to see the beauty of a thousand motorcycles riding below Old Glory. Thanks to all the unknown riders who waved, gave a thumbs up or a peace sign. Thanks to all those who took a picture of the day or the flags. Thanks to the heroes of 9/11 and to days heroes the PD and FD guys and gals. If you have a picture email me at pnoel@ctpost.com and I’ll try to add it..

Bridgeport Police promotions

The scuttlebutt at the Bridgeport PD today is the release of the new sergeants’ promotion list. More than 100 officers took the test, and those who did are busy checking to see how they ranked against their peers. Those in the top 15 to 20, it is believed, stand a good chance of making sergeant before the list expires.
