Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn III is expressing frustration with a judge’s decision to release a suspect charged with stabbing a woman in Taunton last month.

Justin Brown-Madison was arraigned on charges of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and domestic assault and battery stemming from a March 10 incident.

According to prosecutors, he’s accused of stabbing the hand of the mother of his child after becoming angry with her. Officers on scene saw a wound on the victim’s hand and found a broken knife of the second floor lading and the blade in the driveway.

Quinn said Brown-Madison “has a terrible record,” noting that he had a “very serious case” open in Plymouth County Superior Court for firearms and drug-trafficking offenses. The state reportedly requested a dangerousness hearing, arguing he should be held without bail because no conditions of release could protect the victim or the public. They also requested to have his bail revoked on the open case in Plymouth County.
