Man Charged With Stabbing Ex-Girlfriend At Pembroke Beach
PEMBROKE (CBS) - The former boyfriend of a woman stabbed in Pembroke is now charged with assault with intent to murder.
Mario Facchini, 49, is being held on $250,000 bail following his arrest Saturday in Plymouth, hours after the stabbing occurred at Plymouth Street beach in Pembroke.
The 49-year-old victim, who suffered multiple stab wounds to her chest while inside her vehicle, then drove herself to South Street in Hanson. She was later airlifted to a Boston hospital with serious injuries. She was in critical condition following surgery on Saturday, police said.
Neighbors described the area in Pembroke where the stabbing occurred as recreational and quiet--a place where people go to fish and spend time outdoors.
Police arrested Facchini after an intense, day-long manhunt. Officers from Hanson, Halifax, Bourne, Mashpee, Wareham and Plymouth assisted in the search.
Facchini, who is also charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, is scheduled to be arraigned in Plymouth District Court on Monday.
Police said Facchini has no known address and has been staying at motels.
