OXFORD, Maine — A Lewiston man is facing multiple charges after he allegedly assaulted an Oxford man in his driveway Wednesday morning before spraying bear mace on responding officers.

Law enforcement authorities said an Oxford officer responded to a reported assault on King Street, where the officer found a man had been attacked in his driveway while getting ready to leave for work.

Law enforcement said in a news release that the suspect, identified as 45-year-old Matthew Martin, was found sitting in a chair at the end of the man's driveway but fled on foot before another Oxford officer and a police dog were called to the scene.

Officers tracked Martin at another house just up the road.
