TEWKSBURY — Chief Ryan M. Columbus reports that Tewksbury Police arrested a Lowell man on multiple assault and battery charges.
MATTHEW LIMA, AGE 20, of LOWELL, was arrested and charged with:

On Sunday, Nov. 8, at approximately 9:10 p.m., Tewksbury police officers were called to Andover Street for reports of a stabbing, with the suspect having fled the area.
A preliminary investigation determined that an argument occurred between the suspect, later identified as LIMA, and another individual. During the altercation, it was reported that LIMA allegedly stabbed the individual twice before fleeing the scene in a dark colored truck.
The individual was treated at the scene for their injuries.
Approximately one hour later, Tewksbury Police were notified by Lowell Police that LIMA had been located in Lowell. LIMA was taken into custody without incident.
LIMA was arraigned in Lowell District Court on Nov. 9.
These are allegations. All defendants are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
