A photo has been released of a man wanted for an Monday evening incident involving an assault and fleeing police.

On Monday, Pennsylvania State Police from Schuylkill Haven and Hamburg responded to the Landingville Boat Dock, 350 Meadow Drive South Manheim Twp. around 11:30pm, for an active domestic dispute between Edwin Montero-Cartagena, 26, of Pottsville and his girlfriend.

Police say an argument ensued and Montero-Cartagena began to punch the victim numerous times and stabbed her on the top of the head with an unknown sharp object.
