HYANNIS — A 53-year-old Saugus man was arrested Wednesday on charges stemming from a stabbing that occurred on Main Street.
Chad Miller was taken into custody at his residence in Saugus after a warrant was issued.
The stabbing occurred just after 1 a.m. on Aug. 16, when Barnstable Police officers were called to Cape Cod Hospital for a person who had arrived at the emergency room suffering from an apparent stab wound to his abdomen.
The 38-year-old male victim underwent emergency surgery for life-threatening wounds.
Members of the Barnstable Police Patrol Force, K-9 Unit and Investigative Services Unit were assisted by members of the Cape & Islands State Police Detective Unit, as well as crime scene units from the Massachusetts State Police and Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office with the initial investigation.
Follow-up by Barnstable Police detectives over several days led to the identification of Miller and his current whereabouts.
Miller was arraigned Thursday at Barnstable District Court on charges of assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and assault with serious bodily injury.
Miller was ordered held pending a dangerousness hearing on Tuesday.
The case will be prosecuted by the Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office.
