2 Stabbed in Quarrel on Thanksgiving Manners
A man was charged with domestic assault and assault with intent to murder after allegedly stabbing two relatives when they criticized his table manners during Thanksgiving dinner in Worcester.
Police said the dispute broke out when Gonzalo Ocasio, 49, and his 18-year-old son, Gonzalo Jr., reprimanded Frank Palacios for picking at the turkey with his fingers, instead of slicing off pieces with a knife.
Palacios, 24, described by police as an uncle, allegedly responded by stabbing the two relatives repeatedly with a carving knife. Both men survived.
