Police are interviewing people from the scene of a weekend double stabbing that resulted in the death of an 18-year-old teenage boy in Saint John.

The second stabbing victim -- a 21-year-old man -- is still recovering in hospital. City police say it's still unclear who invaded or lived in the home on Prince Street West where the stabbing occurred.

Police were called for aid at 4:30 am on 348 Prince Street West, where the 18-year-old headed for help after the stabbing that occurred at a different location.

 
Police don't believe this is a random act and say the two knew each other.

Anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to contact police.

Time Change Affects Alertness

You're not the only one feeling the effects of the time change!

UNBSJ psychology professor Dr. Michael Bradley tells Tide news you're mood could go up and, more often than not, down. The biggest difference is a change in judgement and alertness. Bradley says there's evidence during both the fall and spring time changes that car and household accidents go up.

Bradley says there's not too much you can do to fight these side effects, except to be more careful and wait until you're back to normal in 3-5 days.


Bradley finishes by saying anything that throws off your schedule will most likely bring you down slightly, rather than pick you up.
