"Caught on neighbors' home security footage, Monday's shocking attack on Hartwell Street left Flanagan with a punctured trachea, according to a statement of facts filed in court. Police said a dark-clothed man with bushy hair and a beard could be seen on surveillance video sprinting up to Flanagan before "savagely" striking the former mayor in the neck with an object."
"The man charged with stabbing former Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan will undergo further psychiatric evaluation after authorities said he appeared "mentally deranged" as officers attempted to question him about the violent attack. Corree Gonzales, 31, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of armed assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury."
Corree Gonzales, 31, is charged with armed assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after allegedly stabbing former Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan. Home security footage shows a dark-clothed man with bushy hair and a beard sprinting up to Flanagan and "savagely" striking him in the neck with an object, leaving a punctured trachea. Flanagan called 911, described his attacker as a "Hispanic male wearing all black," and was intubated at St. Luke's Hospital before being moved to the ICU in critical/stable condition. Gonzales pleaded not guilty and faces additional charges for allegedly assaulting four police officers. A judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital after officers said Gonzales appeared mentally deranged during questioning.
