Woburn Man Charged After Allegedly Chasing Person With a Knife

A Woburn man was arrested after he allegedly chased a man with a knife on Main Street on Tuesday night.

Police arrested John Queenan, 49, 26 Plympton St., Woburn, and charged him with assault with a dangerous weapon (a knife).

Police responded to the area of the Lucky Mart on Main Street at about 10 p.m. Tuesday after Queenan ran with a knife toward another man. The victim ran into the store and hid in a backroom, according to police.

The victim said he only saw Queenan once and that was a week ago.

Queenan told police that he chased the victim because the man allegedly stole $400 from him last week and Queenan wanted to scare him to get the money back. He told police he didn’t intend on stabbing him.

Police also arrested Dawn Marie Metrano, 49, 32 Center St. Woburn, and charged her with being an accessory after the fact. Police said Metrano took the knife from the scene because she told police that she “didn’t want anyone to get hurt.”

Metrano said Queenan took the knife from her kitchen sink.
