Update: Providence man stabbed while heading home

PROVIDENCE – A man stabbed after midnight near 79 Washington St. was heading home to an apartment in that building, which houses the nightclub Diesel and Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel, according to a Providence police report about the incident.

Andrew Hotes, 22, has been treated and released from Rhode Island Hospital, a spokeswoman said today.

Hotes told the police he had left Finnegan’s Wake, a downtown bar, and was walking in the alley behind Blake’s Tavern when a man he didn’t know approached him, asking for money.

When Hotes told the man he had no money and kept walking, the suspect held him by the arm and stabbed him, Hotes told the police.

He said the man then fled on foot, toward Snow Street, and Hotes walked to his apartment, where he then contacted the police.

According to the incident report, Hotes told officers that he would go to the central station on his own if he wanted to make any further statements.
