Man in trauma center after Pershing Court stabbing
A man was flown to a trauma center by helicopter after he was stabbed multiple times in Pershing Court early Saturday.
Uniontown City Police said Irvin Kili Green Jr., 20, of Monessen stabbed Avery Crenshaw in the face, lower back, right thigh and left arm.
Crenshaw was listed in critical, but stable condition after the stabbing, according to court documents. Police said he lost a significant amount of blood in the stabbing.
Police said Green and Crenshaw were arguing at Pershing Court when Green allegedly pulled out an eight-inch knife and began chasing the alleged victim around the complex. Green allegedly ordered Crenshaw to take off his boots and empty his pockets.
A witness directed police to the discarded boots and a knife in a wooded area near the complex.
Police said they observed blood inside and outside of the apartment at 130 Pershing Court. Police found Crenshaw’s clothing, cellphone and a hat, which they said were covered in blood.
Green was later taken to Monongahela Valley Hospital and transferred to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh for an injury to one of his fingers, police said.
Green is charged with attempted homicide, theft, reckless endangerment, two counts of aggravated assault, five counts of robbery and three counts of simple assault.
He was arraigned before on-call Magisterial District Judge Mike Defino Jr. on Saturday night and lodged in Fayette County Prison in lieu of a $150,000 bond.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. June 21 before Defino.
