A 21-year-old New Hampshire man was apprehended at a local Burger King following an incident that left another individual with a sword-inflicted hand wound, according to authorities. The Manchester Police Department reported to NBC Boston that they received a call about a stabbing on Hill Street yesterday around 2:50 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers engaged with the victim, who recounted how Gavin Brown of Manchester had allegedly wielded a 2-foot sword against him, causing injury. Brown subsequently fled the Hill Street location, leaving the victim with a cut hand. According to the victim's statement obtained by MyChamplainValley.com, the altercation escalated quickly before Brown made his escape.

Later, law enforcement located Brown at the Burger King on Second Street. The arrest was made without further incident. Brown now faces charges of first-degree assault with a deadly weapon, a serious allegation suggesting a premeditated attack.

The suspect was taken into police custody and, as mentioned by officials to NBC Boston, has been placed on preventative detention pending his arraignment. Although the exact time and date of Brown's court appearance were not immediately disclosed to the public, the charge suggests a level of violence that the legal system tends to prosecute with earnest gravity.
