Update: Ice pick victim wanted in Minn. rape

PROVIDENCE – Charles Lewis walked into the Broad Street fire station early this morning bleeding from multiple stab wounds in his face, neck and chest. Authorities believe he was stabbed with an ice pick.

Shortly after firefighters transported him to Rhode Island Hospital at about 2 a.m., the police learned that Lewis, 40, of Lenox Avenue, Providence, was wanted on rape charges in Minnesota.

He has been charged as being a fugitive and is being held pending extradition to Minnesota, according to a police report of the incident.

Lewis told the police that he was stabbed with a "pick-like object" early this morning after arguing with someone he didn't know.
