A Greenport man was arrested after allegedly swinging a knife at a Southold Town police officer who was attempting to break up a fight Saturday night, according to police.
The officer was on patrol on Front Street in Greenport when he saw Kelvin Euceda, 33, in an altercation with another man while in front of a restaurant, police said.
The officer who was not named in a police press release stopped to deescalate the situation shortly after 9:30 p.m.
“Upon interjecting himself into the altercation the Southold Town police officer observed that Mr. Euceda had a ‘t-handled’ style dagger in his right hand and was waving it around in a threatening manor,” police said in a release.

As Amy Folk writes in a new essay, “involvement in slavery did not end in the northeastern United States when the importation of slaves from abroad was banned by the U.S. in 1807. Nor did it end when New York State ended enslavement of people in 1827.”
Nor did it end on eastern Long Island.
Ms. Folk, the Southold Town historian and a member of a research group investigating the institution of slavery on the North fork, has posted her essay on the town historian’s website.
