A Pittsburgh man is wanted on charges that he stabbed another man several times Tuesday in a fight over a woman in Avalon, police said.
Patrick Giesy, 39, is facing charges of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in connection to the incident, which occurred shortly before 12:50 a.m., Allegheny County police said.
An Avalon police officer was patrolling near the Red White and Blue Store on Route 65 when he heard screams for help, and found a man who was bleeding from the chest. The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
According to police, Giesy and the man verbally fought over a woman, and during that argument, Giesy produced an edged weapon and stabbed the man numerous times in the chest.
Police said Giesy fled the scene following the stabbing.
