On Sunday morning at approximately 2:35 AM the Police Department was dispatched to the two hundred block of Salem Street on a report of a stab victim requesting assistance. Upon arrival at the scene, uniformed officers spoke to the male victim, a Medford resident. He indicated while leaving a bar room in Everett he was assaulted and sustained a laceration to his arm which EMTs were bandaging. The victim, who stated he took a taxi from the scene to his friend's house in Malden, was transported to Melrose-Wakefield Hospital and the Everett Police Department was notified of the allegations.  

Also on Sunday evening at 11:55 PM the Police Department was dispatched to the area of the Willow Street Skate Park on a report that someone was shot. Officers began their preliminary investigation by interviewing the victim and witnesses. It was learned that two males approached a group of youths who were hanging out in the Skate Park. One of the males was observed to pull out a handgun and begin to fire at the group of youths. The intended victims scattered and fled. One youth was struck by a round in his ankle area and suffered non-life threatening injuries. The male victim who is a 17-year-old Malden resident was subsequently transported to the hospital for treatment. Physical evidence was recovered at the scene and the investigation is ongoing.

Mayor Christenson thanked the Malden Police Department for solving multiple crimes this past week. 

Around 1:30 PM on Tuesday an individual attempted to hold up the Linden Convenience store located at 455 Lynn Street. He fled in a vehicle which Detective Montina spotted in Everett on the Malden/Everett line. The car was subsequently stopped in Chelsea and the investigation directed officers to a fourth city, Revere, after it was determined the driver wasn't the suspect who entered the store. Anthony Morrison, age 36, was located at his residence and offered resistance but was subdued by officers with no injuries reported.
