BELFAST — Belfast Police are seeking public assistance to identify an assailant who allegedly robbed, then stabbed his victim, according to a press release from Belfast Police Chief Robert Cormier. 

Belfast Police responded to Waldo County General Hospital’s emergency room at approximately 9:20 a.m. June 13, following a report of a victim with stab wounds. Officers reportedly spoke with the victim briefly while he was being treated, according to Cormier’s report. The victim reportedly stated that he had been robbed sometime that morning, and that after the robbery, the suspect stabbed him multiple times before fleeing on foot. 

Officers determined the robbery happened near a wooded trail and encampment located west of Route 1 and south of the CMP powerlines, just outside the bypass. The victim reported that he was eventually able to make it to a nearby parking lot to call for help. 

The victim described the suspects as a white male in his 20s, who is 5’5” with a stocky build, and long brown hair; and a female in her early 20s, who has a thin build, fair skin, and reddish colored hair, according to Cormier’s report. 

Later in the day June 13, the victim was transported via ambulance to Maine Medical Center in Portland for further treatment. His exact condition is unknown, according to Cormier. 

The incident is under investigation, and police are asking anyone with any information to contact them at 207-338-2040.
