A man accused of stabbing a Brunswick man in the chest and hitting him with a chair so hard it broke his jaw and shoulder has been indicted on attempted murder charges.

A Cumberland County grand jury indicted Manessah Massaline, 40, of Brunswick on charges of attempted murder, elevated aggravated assault, criminal threatening with a weapon and aggravated criminal trespass. Police say Massaline was trying to collect a debt.

Massaline was arrested in September, five days after the attack, after several police agencies joined together to track him down.
 
Massaline was charged in 2009 with kidnapping, robbery and terrorizing after police said he and an accomplice took a couple, who they were acquainted with, hostage. The couple escaped after they said they heard their captors discussing where to dump the bodies.
