Binghamton Man Charged With Attempted Murder of Girlfriend

A Binghamton man is accused of slashing his girlfriend’s throat during a domestic incident May 22.

City Police Detectives say officers responded to a Chapin Street apartment at 7:39 p.m. and found a woman whose throat had been slashed several times with a razor had managed to flee to a neighboring apartment to call authorities.

Forty-five-year-old Shannon Callahan was seen leaving the building and was quickly detained.

He is accused of attacking the woman, pinning her down, slashing her with the hand-held razor and telling her she was going to die.

The 35-year-old woman’s wounds were non-life-threatening.

Callahan is charged with attempted murder and aggravated criminal contempt for violating an order of protection.

He was sent to the Broome County Jail.
