A Rhode Island teen was arrested Wednesday morning in connection with stabbing his coworker in the stomach with a pair of scissors at a Massachusetts gas station, according to police.
Providence resident Osmin Ramirez, 19, pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the incident during his arraignment in Stoughton District Court later that day, according to court records.
Officers responded to a report of a customer dispute at the Shell gas station and Seasons Corner Market at 731 Washington St. around 7:45 a.m., Canton police said in a press release. The investigation into the incident indicated that Ramirez had gotten into a physical fight with a coworker while their van was parked at a gas pump.
During the fight, Ramirez stabbed his coworker — a 29-year-old man — in the stomach with a pair of scissors, police said. Officers arrested him at the scene without further incident.
Firefighters took Ramirez’s coworker to a local hospital, police said. He is expected to survive his injuries.
During Ramirez’s arraignment, he was held on $2,500 bail, according to court records. No further information about the stabbing has been released.
