1 Arrested After Man Pinned Between 2 Vehicles in Lowell, Massachusetts

A man was airlifted after being pinned between two vehicles Friday in Lowell, Massachusetts, and another man was arrested.

Police say 28-year-old Andrew Melendez of Kittery, Maine, was in a fight with the victim on Caddell Avenue. Melendez allegedly got in the vehicle, and the victim was standing in front of it.

Melendez, police say, drove forward, slamming into the victim and pinning him against a parked minivan.

Police responded just before 5:30 p.m. to find the victim "bleeding profusely from a serious leg injury." He was taken to Lowell General Hospital before being airlifted to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

Melendez is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and police say more charges are probable.

It was not immediately clear whether Melendez had an attorney.
