HAVERHILL, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities have arrested an 18-year-old man in connection with a stabbing in Haverhill on Tuesday night that claimed the life of a 19-year-old man, officials said.
Officers responding to Merrimack Valley Hospital at Holy Family in Haverhill around 8:40 p.m. learned a man suffering from multiple stab wounds had been transported to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, according to the Essex District Attorney’s Office.

He is being held without bail at the Essex County Correctional Facility pending a video arraignment that is slated for Thursday morning.
Troopers assigned to the district attorney’s are assisting Haverhill police with an investigation.
