An investigation is underway after a 55-year-old man was stabbed by his girlfriend Wednesday morning in Fairhaven, according to Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn III.

Quinn said officers were called to Middle Street just before 11 a.m. after receiving reports of a stabbing.

The officers found the victim suffering from several stab wounds, according to Quinn. He was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and is now stable.

Quinn said the man’s girlfriend, identified as 42-year-old Keira Colon, was arrested and charged with assault with intent to murder and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon resulting in serious bodily injury.
