FRANKLIN, MASS. (WHDH) - A New Hampshire man charged with stabbing a Massachusetts state trooper after a multi-state car chase is expected to change his plea Friday.
Nghia Le, of Manchester, New Hampshire, is scheduled to appear in Franklin Superior Court at 2 p.m. He initially pleaded not guilty to several charges, including attempted murder and armed carjacking.
Police say Le carjacked a 72-year-old woman’s vehicle after a car crash in New Hampshire on Oct. 19, 2018 before leading police on a chase through Vermont and into Massachusetts, where he crashed in New Salem.
He then allegedly stabbed 47-year-old Trooper Mark Whitcomb before he was shot by another officer.
Le and Whitcomb were hospitalized for treatment.
