Stabbing Reported On Scott Drive In Merrimack

MERRIMACK, NH — Merrimack Police and Fire and Rescue teams were called to Scott Drive last night for a report of a woman who was stabbed, according to reports and alerts online. First responders were called to the home at around 10 p.m. on Jan. 27, 2018, for a report of a woman that had been stabbed in the driveway of a home but was still conscious and breathing. According to scanner chatter, police quickly secured the scene and then, EMTs were allowed to tend to the victim.

The woman was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Nashua.

The assailant was reportedly believed to still be in the area before police arrived, according to dispatchers, who stated there were no witnesses to the incident.

The Manchester Information Facebook site reported around 11:15 p.m. that a trauma team was activated at the hospital. The home was roped off by crime scene tape but officers did not appear to be searching for suspects and didn’t put a be-on-the-lookout (BOLO) call for a suspect.

An officer followed EMTs from the scene in order to interview the woman later while other officers searched the area for possible suspects. At just before midnight, a New Hampshire State Police K-9 unit was called to the scene to assist with tracking a possible suspect.

The last known contact with the home was a report of a suicidal subject in May 2015, a dispatcher told police.

Merrimack Police had not provided any updates on its social media feeds about the incident at post time.
