MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, MASS. (WHDH) - A second suspect is facing criminal charges after a man was stabbed multiple times in Manchester-by-the-Sea earlier this month.

Officers responding to a reported stabbing in the area of School and North streets around 7:50 p.m. May 9 found a man in his mid-30s who had been stabbed multiple times, according to Manchester-by-the-Sea police.
