A teenager was injured after a man allegedly shot at a group playing “Ding-Dong-Ditch” overnight in Harrison, Maine.

Authorities responded shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday to reports of multiple gunshots and screams heard in the area of ​​Waterford Road and Depot Street, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office told NBC10’s Boston affiliate News Center Maine.

Officers who arrived found blood on the roadway. At that time, the Cumberland County Regional Communications Center also received a report from Bridgton Hospital about a gunshot victim who walked in without an appointment, the sheriff’s office said.

The teens rang people’s doorbells and ran. They reportedly knocked on the door of the home at 91 Waterford Road and ran away when a resident of the home grabbed a gun and shot the group multiple times, News Center Maine reported.

The man, later identified as 30-year-old Vincent Martin, allegedly struck a victim in the right calf, causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Martin was arrested at home and transported to the Cumberland County Jail where he was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated reckless conduct, discharging a firearm near a dwelling and discharging a firearm across a pathway. He is being held on $10,000 bail.

The victim, whose name was not released, is in stable condition at Bridgton Hospital, News Center Maine reports.
