The Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office says it is investigating an alleged stabbing at a home in Mattawamkeag.
Around 6:30 a.m., deputies were called to a residence on Indian Avenue for a report of a possible home invasion and stabbing, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post Thursday evening.
Deputies determined that the stabbing victim had left the scene in a vehicle; the victim was soon located and transported to Penobscot Valley Hospital in Lincoln. In the meantime, Maine State Police secured the scene on Indian Avenue.
In an email Thursday evening, Sheriff Troy Morton said the people involved know each other and both live at the Indian Avenue residence. He declined to share more information about who was stabbed.
The sheriff’s office did not say whether anyone involved was taken into custody or is expected to face charges.
The investigation is ongoing and there is no danger to the public, the sheriff’s office said, but no further information was expected to be released Thursday evening.
