Newport, RI — A 17-year-old Little Compton boy is recovering after he was stabbed multiple times during a melee at a house party at the Kingscote mansion on Saturday night, and three Newport teens are facing assorted charges in connection with the incident.

Police said the victim was transported to Hasbro Children's Hospital for treatment, and his condition is not known at this time. The host of the house party, Josiah Travers, 18, who gave an address of 253 Bellevue Ave., has been charged with procuring alcohol for minors after police found beer cans and Solo cups strewn about the lawn and inside the house after they responded to a 911 call reporting a stabbing.

Travers fled the scene and was uncooperative with police during the investigation, police said. Officers reported finding a temporary ID with his name, picture and date of birth in plain view in a bedroom on the second floor, and witnesses told police that they heard about the party on Snapchat. Police also said the key holder to the property, identified as Travers' godfather, lets Travers stay at the mansion "occasionally." A 15-year-old Newport boy was charged with felony assault, vandalism and disorderly conduct for his role in the fight. He reportedly kicked and punched the victim multiple times during the assault, boasting about the crime to interviewing officers later at police headquarters and was incredulous when police told him he was being arrested, according to a police report.

The stabbing suspect, a 17-year-old Newport boy, was charged with felony assault. Both boys are being held at the training school and were due to appear before a Family Court Judge on Monday.

Police described a chaotic scene outside the house, with party debris on the ground and dried blood spots on the path leading to a stairway connected to an open door on the property.

Witnesses told police that there were upwards of 50 people at the party, and the fight broke out not long before 1 a.m. after a verbal argument between several people escalated into a full-on fracas.

The victim's girlfriend told police that she pulled the victim from a group of people as he lay on the ground being kicked and punched. As they left, she grabbed his shirt and saw her hand was covered in blood. It was only then that they realized he had been stabbed. Other witnesses said that the 15-year-old juvenile was yelling "Hillside" and "If you got a problem with Newport, let me know" during the party. He himself later told police that he was agitated that night and looking to pick a fight with anyone.
