DRACUT — The Dracut Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance with an investigation into a stabbing that took place last night, after which the suspect fled the scene and remains at large.
According to a statement from Dracut Police Chief Peter Bartlett, on Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, at about 10:09 p.m., Dracut police responded to a Bridge Street business after receiving a report of a large fight. The group dispersed by the time police arrived on scene.
Chief Bartlett said a preliminary investigation indicated a juvenile male had been stabbed.
Police later determined the stabbing suspect left the scene in an older-model dark gray Mercedes-Benz SUV.
“The suspect is described as being 5-feet, 4-inches tall, wearing a camouflage hooded jacket and black jeans,” Chief Bartlett said. “The investigation into this incident is active and ongoing.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact Dracut police detectives at (978) 957-2123.
