Last night, a disturbing altercation in downtown Boston led to a stabbing incident and the subsequent arrest of a 29-year-old Cambridge woman, identified as Alicia Morasse. The Boston Police Department reports that officers stationed at District A-1 (Downtown) were called to a scene at 1 Harrison Avenue around 10:24 PM, responding to a situation involving the removal of a patron from a local establishment. Boston Police state that upon arrival, they discovered an adult male victim had suffered a stab wound.
After requesting immediate medical attention for the victim, who was transported to a nearby hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening, officers learned that Morasse had reportedly caused a disturbance inside the restaurant which escalated into violence; she allegedly stabbed the victim during an altercation before attempting to flee the area, all while the incident was captured on surveillance, providing visual evidence crucial for identification and apprehension.
Quick dissemination of Morasse's image among the responding officers led to her location and arrest in the vicinity of Stuart Street and Church Street, where officers recovered a knife from her backpack, effectively linking her to the crime. Morasse now faces multiple charges, including Assault with Intent to Murder, Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, Disorderly Conduct, Vandalize Property, and Threat to Commit a Crime, as per the Boston Police Department's report.
Heavy police presence remained on-site as investigators continued to canvas the area, gathering additional details and witness statements. Meanwhile, the establishment at the center of the incident was left dealing with the aftermath of the violence. Alicia Morasse is slated for arraignment at Boston Municipal Court. No further details about the conflict or the current condition of the victim have been released yet.
