FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
At approximately 4:00 p.m. today, Medford Police responded to a report of a fight outside Pet Supplies Plus, located at 630 Fellsway.
When officers arrived, they determined the individuals involved were known to each other. During the altercation, an object was thrown through a vehicle window, causing damage. The situation escalated into a physical fight, during which one adult male sustained stab wounds.
One of the male parties fled the scene before officers arrived but was located shortly after. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. He is expected to face charges.
The second male party remained at the scene and was taken into custody.
Both individuals will face charges and are expected to be arraigned in Somerville District Court at a later date.
Because this incident is domestic in nature, and in accordance with Massachusetts law, the names of those involved will not be released.
The investigation remains ongoing.
