A Newburyport woman was charged in connection with a man who was hospitalized after a stabbing Sunday morning, the Newburyport Police Department said.
The woman, 34, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, police said in a statement. Her name was not released.
“I’m grateful for the quick response and actions of all the first responders involved in this call,” Police Marshal Matthew Simons said in the statement. “Everyone worked diligently to bring a volatile situation under control very quickly.”
At around 1:45 a.m., officers went to a Newburyport home after receiving a call asking for medical aid. Officers arrived to find a 46-year-old man with a stab wound.
Officers also met the woman and arrested her, police said. The hurt man was flown to a Boston hospital in a medical helicopter.
The woman is being held on $100,000 cash bail and is expected to be arraigned in Newburyport District Court on Monday.
Police have determined that this stabbing was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public.
