A man is in custody at the Bucks County Correctional Facility after he allegedly stabbed a teen at the Perkasie Skate Park on Constitution Avenue Monday afternoon.
Nikolas Lore, 19, of Perkasie, has been charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and misdemeanor counts of simple assault, possessing an instrument of crime, and reckless endangerment, in connection with the Sept. 25 incident. Lore is being held at the county jail after failing to post bail.
Perkasie Police were dispatched to Grand View Hospital at 4:55 p.m. to meet with the mother of a 15-year-old boy who had been stabbed at the skate park. The mother said she met her son at the pavilion, at which point she noticed blood on his shirt. She was then approached by Lore, who said “he was sorry,” then immediately took her son to the hospital and called the police, according to charging documents.
Speaking to investigators, the victim stated Lore retrieved a large knife from his vehicle and started walking towards him, prompting the victim to turn and run away, police said. As the victim was attempting to get away from Lore, he said he felt two “blunt force” hits to his back, then fled to a bathroom where he noticed two approximately three-inch cuts on his upper back, the report states.
The victim received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries at the hospital, police said.
Investigators then responded to the skate park, where Lore was located and taken into custody. Police also said they located the knife when Lore was arrested.
Lore was arraigned Monday night by Magisterial District Judge Lisa Gaier, who set bail at 10% of $150,000 cash. His next court appearance is a preliminary hearing on Oct. 3 at 1 p.m. in front of Magisterial District Judge Regina Armitage.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using police reports, court records and the affidavit of probable cause.
