1 dead, 1 arrested after fight in New Bedford

A man has died and another was arrested after a fight at a rooming house in New Bedford Saturday night, according to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.

 

District Attorney Thomas Quinn said police were called to Sawyer Street just after 11:30 p.m. for reports of a fight between neighbors.

 

Police found one of the men, 56-year-old Curtis Pina, on the third floor landing and bleeding heavily from his forehead, Quinn said. Pina was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

 

Quinn said a few hours later an investigation led police to arresting 38-year-old Arirto Santiago of Sawyer Street.
