The Oxford County Sheriff’s Department responded Monday night to reports of a stabbing in Buckfield.
Deputies, along with officers of the Maine State Police and the Oxford Police Department, responded to the house on Sodom Rd. after reports that a man had been stabbed following a fight.
When deputies arrived, they found the victim, Michael Johnson-Wynter, 37, with non-life threatening injuries.
Johnson-Wynter was transferred by ambulance to the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
By the time police arrived, the suspect had already fled the scene.
Law enforcement flooded the surrounding area, and, after 30 minutes of searching, found the suspect a half-mile from the crime scene.
Police arrested Abdul-Rashid Bilal, 27, of Waterville, and transported him to the Oxford County Jail, where he was issued a $50,000 cash bail.
He currently remains in custody, and is being charged with Elevated Aggravated Assault, a class A felony.
Police did not provide any details on the cause of the fight which led to the stabbing, or on the relationship between the victim and perpetrator.
Waterville? Native? Ha! I think not.
Where is the Mug Shot ? Come on stop covering for these Savages god you are getting as Bad as the LDS or PPH or the BDN …
Did one of these due good groups, with Biden funding and supported by an Independent, bring the blade man to Maine?
Let me guess. Mr Bilal is white, here legally, raised in Waterville and speaks perfect English. Probably gets his pot from one or more of the illegal grows. Oh what does he look like? They’ll probably release him so they aren’t called racist.
