Bruce J. Bemer, the Glastonbury businessman appealing a conviction in a sex trafficking case, told investigators that he was in his home office late Tuesday when he was attacked with two steak knives, an arrest warrant released Thursday shows.
Police did not name Bemer as the victim in the stabbing, citing a state domestic violence law, but his attorney, Anthony Spinella, confirmed it was his client and that the suspect was his boyfriend.
Authorities charged Jason McCormick, 47, with attempted murder, first-degree assault on an elderly person and second-degree threatening after they found him with self-inflicted knife wounds in the basement of Bemer’s home at 215 Sherwood Drive, arrest records show.
