A resident of Mexico, Maine, allegedly slashed a Rumford man across the face with a knife during a fight Sunday afternoon.
The two men had been arguing outside 323 Waldo St. in Rumford, the Rumford Police Department said. The argument turned into a physical fight, and Paul Moore, 38, allegedly cut the face of the other man, who police said was also 38.
The victim’s injuries were not life-threatening.
Moore left the scene on foot before police arrived, and they were initially unable to find him. He was arrested on Monday morning on Colby Street, taken to Oxford County Jail in South Paris and charged with aggravated assault.
At the time of his arrest, Moore had been on probation for a felony criminal conspiracy charge. Because of the prior charge, he is being held without bail, police said.
