NEWBURYPORT — A woman was arrested early Sunday morning after police responded to a stabbing at a Newburyport residence, according to Marshal Matthew Simons.
Officers arrived at approximately 1:45 a.m. in response to a medical aid call and found a 46-year-old man suffering from an apparent stab wound. The victim was transported by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital for treatment.
A 34-year-old woman was arrested at the scene without incident and has been charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. She is currently being held on $100,000 cash bail and is scheduled for arraignment Monday in Newburyport District Court.
