Paraplegic stabs three people including his own daughter

Associated Press:

Police say a Warwick man who is paralyzed from the waist down stabbed three people Thursday afternoon from the back of a parked SUV.

Police say 29-year-old Edwin Rodrigues stabbed 32-year-old Hector Colon, an acquaintance from North Providence, after an argument. Police say that Colon, who was in the front passenger seat, punched Rodrigues, who then pulled out a folding knife and stabbed Colon in the head.

When Rodrigues’ former wife, Mildred Rodrigues, attempted to intervene from the driver's seat, Edwin Rodrigues stabbed her in the arms, police said.

Police said Rodrigues' 13-year-old daughter tried to intervene from outside the vehicle and was also stabbed. An infant in the vehicle was unharmed.

The victims were treated at hospitals. Edwin Rodrigues is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
