Man accused of assault in Lincoln Woods stabbing

State and Providence police have charged a Providence man in connection with a stabbing that occurred last Friday at Lincoln Woods State Park.

Rafael Rosario, 18, of 108 Rugby St., is charged with felony assault with a dangerous weapon.

People in Lincoln Woods State Park at the time of the stabbing Friday afternoon said a boy took out a large knife and gashed another youth with it during a chaotic mingling of dozens of high school boys.

Authorities reported that the victim’s injuries were not life-threatening.

Bail for Rosario was set this morning at $10,000 with surety in Sixth District Court, Providence. He is next due in court on June 14 for a determination of attorney hearing.

Armed with an arrest warrant, members of the state police detective bureau and the Providence police arrested Rosario around 10 p.m. last night, the state police announced this afternoon.

Environmental protection officers from the state Department of Environmental Management assisted state and Providence police in the investigation that led to Rosario’s arrest.
