BOSTON, Nov. 5, 2015—A Milton man was convicted yesterday of stabbing three people outside a Theater District nightclub, and faces an enhanced penalty for carrying a dangerous weapon as a repeat offender, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

After a week-long trial, a Suffolk Superior Court jury yesterday convicted NJISANE CHAMBERS (D.O.B. 9/29/87) of three counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for the June 7, 2014, incident.  At a second set of proceedings yesterday afternoon, jurors convicted him of carrying a dangerous weapon – a knife – as a second or subsequent offense based on a 2006 conviction for unlawfully carrying a firearm.

Assistant District Attorney Caitlin Grasso of the DA’s Major Felony Bureau proved that Chambers stabbed a man and a woman and slashed at a third victim, cutting his clothes but not breaking the skin, during an altercation outside the Rumor and Venu nightclubs at about 2:00 am on June 7, 2014. Chambers was arrested at the scene after Boston Police officers on-hand for the nightly “let out” of area clubs spotted him fighting with one of the male victims while the female victim lay on the pavement of Tremont Street. The knife was recovered at the scene.

Michael Coffey is the DA’s assigned victim-witness advocate. Chambers was represented by attorney Joseph Griffin. Because of his conviction as a repeat offender, he faces at least five years in state prison when he is sentenced on Nov. 16.
