Man Charged in Stabbing, Assault

Nashua police arrested a man on charges of first-degree assault for allegedly stabbing a man and criminal threatening and simple assault after a domestic dispute with a woman July 3.

Police said Ernie Roig, 26, was charged after officers responded to a residence for a report of a domestic disturbance where a person was stabbed.

Roig was involved in a physical altercation with a woman and a man he knew, and Roig at one point took possession of a knife and threatened the woman, according to police.

Police say Roig also assaulted the woman, at which point a family member of Roig's intervened and was then stabbed.

The stabbing victim was taken to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries, while the woman sustained minor injury, police said.

Roig was charged with first-degree assault, a Class A felony, two counts of domestic violence-related criminal threatening, and two counts of domestic violence-related simple assault.

Roig was being held at the Nashua Police Department on $100,000 cash bail pending arraignment July 7.
