FAMILY DISPUTE LEADS TO TEEN STABBED BY HIS BROTHER AT TRUMBULL MALL

On Saturday, February 4, 2023, a dispute between two brothers resulted in a stabbing that left a

teenager wounded. Trumbull Police arrested a Bridgeport man after he stabbed his younger

brother as both were leaving the Trumbull Mall. Jovanie Hall, age 18, of Glen Circle, Bridgeport,

was taken into police custody at his residence a short time after the incident.

At approximately 8:00 PM, Hall drove to the Trumbull Mall to pick up his brothers, and as they

were walking in the parking lot, Hall began stabbing the sixteen (16) year old victim. Their other

sibling intervened by grabbing Hall, allowing the victim to escape the attack and run back inside

of the mall before police were contacted. Hall then fled the scene prior to police arrival.

Several Trumbull police officers, who were patrolling inside the mall, were notified of the assault

and responded immediately and administered medical care to the victim.

The sixteen (16) year-old victim sustained multiple stab wounds, causing serious injuries so

Trumbull EMS responded and transported him to St. Vincent’s Hospital for treatment. Hall

sustained minor lacerations to his hand. No other injuries were reported.

Hall was charged with Assault 1

st

, Carrying a Dangerous Weapon and Breach of Peace. He was

held on a $250,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Bridgeport Superior court on February 6,

2023.

Trumbull Police have maintained an increased presence at the mall in recent weeks due to a

series of incidents involving groups of disorderly youths who have caused disturbances, most

often on weekends. Additional officers will remain posted at the mall into the coming weeks.
