BARRINGTON, N.H. - Police are investigating a bizarre incident in which a teen, apparently angered by two horse riders along the road, allegedly went after the riders with an oar and stabbed a man who intervened.
Michele Snow, of Barrington, said she and her 7-year-old daughter, Brianna, were riding on the side of the road Wednesday when Snow waved for a truck to slow down as it drove toward them.
Witnesses told police the 16-year-old driver skidded to a stop, grabbed a wooden oar and went after the riders. They galloped away as several neighbors and other witnesses headed for the driver.
Witnesses told Fosters Daily Democrat the teen pulled a knife and stabbed 57-year-old Milton Smith of Strafford in the face and leg as he tried to calm the teen down. Smith was treated and released from the hospital.
