WARWICK, RI — Warwick Police have charged Joseph Young, 45, of Warwick with felony assault in the July 26 West Shore Road stabbing of a 60-year-old man.

Warwick Police were called for the West Shore Road stabbing at 2:22 p.m. today that sent a 60-year-old man to Rhode Island Hospital. Officers found the victim near the Work Out Word gym, 3030 West Shore Road with injuries to his right arm that were not life-threatening.
