BOSTON — Boston police arrested a 22-year-old Dorchester man Friday in connection with a stabbing on Pontiac Street in Roxbury Wednesday, the department said.

Officers from the department's Mattapan district arrested Julio Reyes Soto, police said. He is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a knife, and was expected to be arraigned in West Roxbury District Court.

According to police, officers were called to the Pontiac Street area Wednesday for a report of a person stabbed. They found a victim with a stab wound that was not life-threatening and gave first aid before the victim was taken to a hospital.

Investigators later identified Soto as the suspect, police said. The department did not identify the victim or say what led up to the stabbing.

The charge is an allegation, and Soto is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
