FRYEBURG – A Conway, N.H., man was stabbed multiple times outside a pizza shop Thursday night, and police have charged a Denmark man in the attack.

Scott Gormley, 44, was arrested at his home on a charge of aggravated assault and booked at the Oxford County Jail in Paris, Fryeburg police Chief Wayne Brooking Jr. said.

James D. Bushey, 39, of Conway, was first taken to Bridgton Hospital, then flown to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. The chief said his wounds were not considered life-threatening.

The attack occurred outside the Fryeburg House of Pizza at 1 Portland St. about 8:45 p.m., Brooking said.

“There was an altercation inside the restaurant,” he said, and “shortly after that it reoccurred outside where the stabbing took place.”

The men were regular customers at the shop, said Leo Katsiginnias, who has owned the establishment for 16 years.

“They started the fight outside,” he said, explaining what others customers told him.

One man got upset at the other for talking to his wife, he said, then, “they go outside and fight.”

Gormley was arrested at his home on a warrant for failure to pay a fine. He was charged at the jail with the knifing.

“He had some very minor scrapes that would indicate he had been in a fistfight of some sort,” he said.

A motive for the attack is being investigated by Fryeburg police Lt. Michael McAllister.

The knife was not recovered.

late Thursday night, the chief said.
