The Bangor Police Department arrested a woman on Thursday following a stabbing incident at a Bangor home the previous Saturday.

Police responded shortly before noon on January 24 to reports of a knife assault at a Larkin Street residence.

When officers arrived, they discovered a female victim with severe laceration injuries, but the suspect had allegedly fled by the time law enforcement arrived.

The victim was transported to a local hospital by the Bangor Fire Department and has since been released.

The Bangor Police Departmentโ€™s Criminal Investigations Division investigated the incident and eventually acquired an arrest warrant for Sammantha Johnson, 36, of Bangor.

At approximately 7:46 p.m. on Thursday, police found Johnson on Bangor’s Second Street and took her into custody.

Johnson faces charges of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon.

Police did not release details on the motive behind the alleged assault or whether the parties involved knew each other.
