NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WLNE) — Authorities have arrested a New Bedford man in connection to Wednesday morning’s stabbing in the city.

20-year-old David J. Antonetty was arrested on a charge of murder Thursday, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Antonetty was arrested without incident in Springfield by a team of state troopers.

Police identified a man who died after an early Wednesday morning stabbing.

The victim, identified as Angel Camacho, 47, of New Bedford, was rushed to Saint Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, where he was pronounced dead later in the morning, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Police received a 911 call around 6:30 a.m.  Wednesday morning in regards to a potential drug overdose outside of 45 Tallman Street. However, when police and rescue personnel arrived on scene, they found the victim was suffering from multiple stab wounds.

Antonetty will be arraigned Thursday in New Bedford District Court.
