BATH – Police arrested a 28-year-old Bath man after he allegedly stabbed his girlfriend repeatedly in the neck Monday morning.

The woman, whose name was not released, was in serious but stable condition at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Bath police said.

Police said they responded to a call about a fight shortly before 7 a.m. at a Washington Street apartment building. When they arrived, they found a 38-year-old woman with serious stab wounds to her neck and shoulder.

The woman and other witnesses in the apartment said she had been stabbed by Matthew Wycoff, who was described as the victim’s live-in boyfiend. The witnesses said Wycoff left the apartment after the fight in a black Kia SUV.

Topsham police spotted the Kia at Gibb’s gas station on Main Street about 7:30 a.m. They arrested Wycoff and handed him over to Bath police a short time later.

Wycoff was charged with elevated aggravated assault and he was being held at Two Bridges Regional Jail Monday night in lieu of $100,000 cash bail.
