OXFORD, PA — A 22-year-old man from Oxford has been charged with stabbing another man late Saturday night.
Authorities said that on May 28, 2022, at 11:36 PM, Oxford Police were dispatched to the Oxford Village Apartments, located on the 700 block of Market Street, for a stabbing. Upon arrival, police treated a 32-year-old male who was transported by Station 21 Ambulance to a hospital. The victim is expected to recover from two puncture stab wounds on the neck and shoulder. The perpetrator, later identified as Enrique Rivera, had called 911 admitting to stabbing the victim and pointed the police to where he threw the knife.
It was determined during the course of the Police investigation that both Rivera and the victim were drinking earlier before the argument began. Rivera went into his apartment and the victim came knocking on Rivera’s door. Rivera told police that he retrieved a kitchen knife and put it in his pocket. When Rivera opened the door, the victim was a few feet away from the door, but when the victim ran toward Rivera that’s when he struck the victim with the knife.
Rivera was transported to the Chester County Prison to await arraignment. He has been charged with Aggravated Assault and four additional charges. The Oxford Borough Police Department was assisted by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Lincoln University Police Department.
