Female Bridgeport Cop Gets Stabbed Multiple Times By Suspect Before Shooting Him

A local man police say stabbed an officer in the chest and head before being shot by police was arraigned from his hospital bed Monday.

Huntley Jackson, 45, was charged with attempted murder, first-degree assault, assault on a public safety officer, interfering with police, threatening and carrying a dangerous weapon.

Jackson was arraigned remotely from his hospital bed at St. Vincent’s Medical Center Monday afternoon.

Wearing a respirator mask over his face, Jackson held up his index finger to acknowledge he was aware of the proceeding. He then nodded as Superior Court Judge William Holden read each of the charges against him.

Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Craig Nowak urged the judge to set a high bond for Jackson, telling the judge that Officer Marie Cetti is in serious condition after being stabbed in her upper right chest and left side of the head.

The judge ordered Jackson held in lieu of $750,000 bond and continued the case to Oct. 22.

According to the police report, at about 1 a.m., on Oct. 5, the city’s Emergency Operations Center received a 911 call from Jackson’s mother stating that her son was in an emotionally disturbed state.

When officers arrived at the Terry Place home, they could hear Jackson inside yelling that he wasn’t going to leave without a fight, the report states.

The report continues that when Officer Cetti opened the glass storm door, Jackson charged at her with a knife, stabbing the officer in a “windmill-like” motion. Police then fired at Jackson, the report states.

He was handcuffed as he lay on the porch, the report states.
