LEWISTON – Police searched for a victim and suspects Friday night after a teenager was reported stabbed outside a store at the Lewiston Mall.
After further investigation, police learned there had not been a stabbing, but that a 17-year-old boy was cut by glass during a scrap in the parking lot.
The teenager later showed up at the Central Maine Medical Center emergency room with cuts and scrapes, police said.
At about 8:45 p.m., emergency dispatchers were called by a person who reported that a male had been stabbed outside Olympia Sports at the mall on Lisbon Street. When officers first arrived, they found nobody injured and no suspects.
They were then given a description of a vehicle seen speeding away from the mall shortly after the fight in the parking lot. When police traced the registration information, they found that the vehicle belonged to a Winthrop woman who told them her son was out with the car Friday night.
Police were speaking with the victim at the hospital as well as several other juveniles believed to have been involved in the fight. It was unknown later Friday night whether anyone would be charged.
