A former New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Klottey Korle, Valentino Nii Noi Nortey, has been arrested in Harrisburg following a stabbing incident over the weekend that left a woman hospitalized.

Lower Paxton Township Police confirmed on Monday that the 41-year-old Nortey faces charges of attempted homicide, possessing an instrument of crime with intent to use, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence in connection with the incident, which occurred on Saturday, January 17.

According to www.abc27.com, the Police said the stabbing took place around 10 a.m. along Mayfair Drive during what authorities described as a domestic dispute. The victim was promptly transported to the hospital by first responders and is currently in stable condition.

Authorities emphasized that there was no threat to the wider public during the incident.

Court records show that Nortey is being held at Dauphin County Prison following his arraignment before Magisterial District Judge David Judy, who denied bail.

A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for January 26.

Further details about the circumstances leading up to the stabbing remain limited as the investigation continues.
