Bath police say they arrested a man after he allegedly stabbed his neighbor and another man trying to intervene, on Spring Street Monday night.

Bath police and EMS responded to 27 Spring St., Monday at 10:25 p.m. for a reported stabbing. They arrived to find two victims. A 39-year-old Bath man had multiple stab wounds to his arm and back area. He was transported to Maine Medical Center. As of Monday night, he is in stable condition. 

The other male victim, age 19 of Bath, was stabbed in the hand. He was transported to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick. 

Police arrested Brandon Plummer, 34, of Bath. He was charged with elevated aggravated assault, a Class A crime punishable by up to 30 years incarceration and a $50,000 fine.  He was transported to Two Bridges Regional Jail and is being held on $2,500 dollars cash bail. 

Preliminary investigation revealed that Plummer and the 39 year old victim became involved in a verbal argument which then turned physical. 

“At that time, Plummer began to stab the victim several times,” said Bath Police Chief Mike Field in a press release. “The other 19 year old victim went to help and was stabbed in the hand. Plummer stopped and ran back into his residence. Plummer and the victims are neighbors.”

Bath Police went to Plummer’s residence and detained him without incident. He was then arrested and transported to Bath Police Department. The knife used in the incident has been recovered as evidence. Bath Police Lt. Robert Savary said the knife used was a fold-up pocket knife.

The investigation is still ongoing, according to Field. Bath police were also assisted by a member of the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office.
