A man found guilty of committing a stabbing attack in a Westbrook parking lot this January has been received a suspended prison sentence of nine years, the Westbrook Police Department announced on Thursday.
On Jan. 30, 2023 police responded to a reported stabbing in a parking lot on Main Street in Westbrook.
The victim of the stabbing attack was transported to the hospital and survived, police said.
The suspected assailant, 38-year-old Damian Green of Westbrook, was located and arrested the day after the attack by police.
Green was charged with aggravated attempted murder, terrorizing, assault on an officer, refusing to submit to arrest and violation of conditions of release.
Just months before the stabbing, Green was arrested in November by Westbrook Police for reportedly trespassing into a home and setting up a tent in its basement.
In addition to a charge of aggravated criminal trespass, Green faced multiple counts of assaulting an officer after fighting with officers — punching one officer in the face and biting another — when they attempted to take him into custody, police said.
