At approximately 1:32 a.m., Rumford officers responded to a 911 call at 497 Virgin Street from a man reporting that he had been stabbed by his girlfriend.

Officers arrived to discover a 28-year-old man suffering from a slash wound to his left hand and provided emergency first aid.

MedCare Ambulance personnel arrived on the scene and treated the man on the scene.

Officers continued the investigation and determined that the victim and his live-in girlfriend, Clarixsa Velez, 28, of Rumford, got into an argument while drinking alcohol.

The argument reportedly became physical when Velez allegedly threw a plate of food at her boyfriend, then retrieved a kitchen knife.

She allegedly attacked her boyfriend with the knife and slashed his hand when he raised his arms to defend himself.

Velez was arrested and transported to the Oxford County Jail, where she is being held without bail. She faces a charge of domestic violence aggravated assault.

Her bf is a black from Massachusetts. Prove me wrong.

This is a huge problem in Rumford/Mexico. Heck, most of Maine now. Where are the parents!?

Black drug dealing men from out of state shacked up with local low income white females.

Why don’t we know the name of the bf? Is there a complaint!?

Hard to believe she didn’t stab him with a fork, she obviously never puts one down
