Breaking News: Stabbing On Belle Island
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) — Richmond Police are looking for a stabbing suspect, after a violent evening on Belle Isle Tuesday night.
Police tell us the victim was stabbed several times, but should be okay.
We’re told is all started out as some type of fight between the victim and suspect on Belle Isle. That escalated into the stabbing.
The victim was taken to the hospital. The suspect was still on the run.
RPD put up its plane, which used thermal imaging, to track the suspect. But, that suspect was never found.

Congressman Scott’s Health Care Forum On March 15
Congressperson Bobby Scott sent notice to constituents about his upcoming health care forum:
This March marks the two year anniversary of Congress passing and the President signing into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. On Thursday, March 15, 2012 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., I will be holding a community forum in Richmond to provide an update on the implementation of the new health care reform law. The forum will be held at the General Assembly Building, Senate Room A, located at the intersection of Ninth Street and Broad Street in downtown Richmond.
Joinining me at the forum will be Ms. Joanne Grossi, the Regional Director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and Ms. Jill Hanken, a health attorney at the Virginia Poverty Law Center. Director Grossi will provide information on what provisions of the Affordable Care Act have already been implemented and what the public can expect to be implemented in the next few years. Ms. Hanken will provide insight on what has been happening at the state level in regards to implementing the new health care law. We will also be joined by constituents who have already benefited from the Affordable Care Act.
Seating is limited, so those who plan to attend may want to contact his office.
