A Bradford man who is accused of stabbing a woman and fleeing from police in July was convicted Friday of several of the charges against him.
A McKean County jury found Christopher D. Link, 30, guilty of charges of aggravated assault (causing serious bodily injury), simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and flight to avoid apprehension, according to District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer.
Meanwhile, he was found not guilty of other counts of aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and possessing an instrument of crime, Shaffer said.
Court records filed at the time of Link’s arrest alleged that he assaulted a female — twice — in July, using a knife both times, then fled from law enforcement on July 28.
The criminal complaint alleged that on July 25, Link struck a female victim numerous times in the head, face and body, causing serious injury, and she had a laceration on her wrist from a knife. On July 28, he allegedly stabbed her twice in the upper right torso, and she was in critical condition in UPMC Hamot, Erie, at the time the charges were filed.
Link will be sentenced at 1 p.m. July 22.
