Multiple stabbing sends three men to local hospital

Police are investigating a multiple stabbing that sent three men to the hospital early Sunday.

Lewiston police Lt. Marc Robitaille said the incident occurred around 2 a.m. outside an apartment building at 127 Howe St. He said several people initially called 911 to report a fight involving 15 to 20 people in the area around 119 Howe St.

Three men were stabbed during the melee. A 25-year-old Livermore Falls man and a 22-year-old Lewiston man were treated at Central Maine Medical Center and released. A 21-year-old Lewiston man was listed in good condition Sunday at CMMC.

Robitaille said a man arrested at the scene on an outstanding warrant for an unrelated charge is considered a person of interest in the stabbings. Tyrone Q. Howell, 29, whose last known address is 67 Mallard Lane in Winthrop, was charged on a warrant for operating a motor vehicle after suspension.

He remained at the Androscoggin County Jail on Sunday awaiting arraignment.

Details on where and why the fight started remained under investigation Sunday evening, Robitaille said.
