Man Charged After Worcester Stabbing Leaves Woman In Critical Condition

WORCESTER, MA — A man is facing charges Tuesday following an early-morning stabbing that left a woman with life-threatening injuries, police said.

Worcester police, firefighters and EMS responded to a Worcester home around 5:40 a.m., where they found a woman suffering from injuries believed to have been caused by a sharp instrument. She was taken to a local hospital and remained in critical condition as of Tuesday afternoon.

Investigators identified a potential suspect and determined that he had fled in a vehicle, police said. The search extended into Auburn and Milford, with area police departments receiving information about the suspect and vehicle.

Around 2 p.m., Milford police received an alert from the department’s Flock license plate reader system that led officers to the vehicle, according to Worcester police. The man was taken into custody and later transferred to Worcester police.

He was charged with armed assault with intent to murder. Police did not release his name or additional details about the stabbing, citing the domestic nature of the case.

The Worcester Police Department said Worcester EMS, the Worcester Fire Department, Massachusetts State Police, Auburn police, Milford police and the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office assisted with the response and investigation.
