Attleboro man charged with assault, intent to murder

ATTLEBORO, Mass. -- An Attleboro man was charged with assault with intent to murder after the police investigated the case of a male with multiple stab wounds early this morning.

Manuel A. Mendez Jr., 49, of 20 Falmouth St. was arrested at home, a police news release says. He was also charged with home invasion and resisting arrest.

Attleboro police Capt. David Proia said in an interview that the police do not believe it was a random attack; indications are the suspect and victim were acquainted.

The police went to Sturdy Memorial Hospital, in Attleboro, to investigate a male with multiple stab wounds at about 4:04 a.m. The police, who did not identify the male, said they learned he was stabbed a short time earlier at his 103 Park St. residence, Attleboro. He was driven to the hospital, where the incident was reported to police.

The male was "undergoing treatment" at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence at the time of the news release, received this afternoon. Proia had no more information on the male's condition.

Mendez is being held at the police station and is slated to appear in Attleboro District Court tomorrow.
