MANCHESTER — An individual described only as a 6 foot tall “zombie” is among the suspects sought in connection with spates of violence that broke out over Halloween weekend in Manchester, police said.

The investigations that kept police busy during the period revolved around the Queen City’s bar scene.

On Saturday, officers responded to the 603 Bar and Grill at 1087 Elm St. for a report of an assault. Officers who arrived just before midnight located a 27-year-old man who was bleeding.

Police in their preliminary investigation learned that the victim had gotten into an altercation with another patron at the bar.

According to MPD spokeswoman Heather Hamel, “the suspect was dressed in a zombie Halloween costume and his description is vague.”

She said the man is described as approximately 6 feet tall. He was last seen heading north on Elm Street.

The victim suffered serious injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening, Hamel added.

Early Monday morning, Manchester Police received a report of a large fight near Jewel Nightclub, 61 Canal St.

Officers arrived at the scene at 12:40 a.m. and learned a 31-year-old man had been stabbed multiple times and was suffering life-threatening injuries.

Officers located the victim in the loading dock area of the nightclub. They provided medical assistance to the man until AMR paramedics arrived.

The man was then transported to Elliot Hospital with injuries that police described as life-threatening.

Detectives are interviewing people who were in and around the area and reviewing surveillance video. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Manchester police at 668-8711. Members of the public can also remain anonymous by calling the Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.

Cash rewards are available for information that leads to the arrest of the suspects.
