PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Providence police are investigating a stabbing at Rhode Island Hospital where two security guards were hurt early Friday morning.

Commander Timothy O’Hara said 39-year-old Manuel Gouveia was being escorted out of the waiting area just before 2 a.m. for a disturbance when he pulled out a straight-edged razor blade and assaulted two security guards.

“The hospital’s Providence Police detail was on scene and quickly apprehended the assailant,” a spokesperson for Lifespan told 12 News. “Thankfully, the officers were not seriously injured, and we thank them for keeping our staff and other patients safe.”

The guards suffered lacerations, O’Hara said, one above the ear and one behind the neck. They were treated for their injuries.
