WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) — Police in Maine are investigating a botched robbery attempt in Waterville in which a 14-year-old girl is being charged with stabbing a taxi driver.

The girl, whose name is not being released, is charged with robbery and elevated aggravated assault. The Morning Sentinel in Waterville says the cabbie was released from the hospital on Thursday, a day after the robbery. The suspect was arrested Saturday.

Police say the cab driver picked up three people in a parking lot and drove them to a dead-end street, where one of the two males in the car grabbed him around the throat before he was stabbed. Police are looking for the two males who were with the teenage stabbing suspect.
