Abigail Gallagher, 31, of Hopedale, was arrested on charges of armed assault with intent to murder and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, according to the Worcester Police Department.
Officers responding to a report of a stabbing at Hurricane Betty’s at 350 Southbridge Street just after 2 a.m. found a man suffering from a stab wound to his neck, police said.
