A man found suffering from a stab wound on Friday night in Peabody Square and later identified as David Abrain, 52, of Roxbury, died from his injuries after being transported by Boston EMS to a local hospital, according to Boston Police, who arrested a 38-year-old Dorchester man for the murder on Saturday.

Prosecutors say that Abrain was stabbed once in the arm, but the injury severed a major artery and caused his death.

Officers were called to the scene at 1879 Dorchester Ave. just before 10 p.m., according to a Boston Police account of the incident. Police shut down streets around the scene for a couple of hours after the initial call and response.

On Saturday, detectives arrested David Adams, 38, of Dorchester, who, police said, matched "the description of the suspect from last night." He was arraigned for the murder in the Dorchester division of Boston Municipal Court on Monday and ordered held without bail.

According to prosecutors, Adams was seen on video “disposing of the murder weapon around the corner from the scene” with a “distinctive colored backpack.” The stabber was dressed “in a black tee, black shorts, distinctive red socks, and walked with a distinctive gait/limp.”

According to an account from the DA’s office, a homicide detective canvassing the area the next day encountered Adams in a convenience store, took note of his clothes and the same “gait/limp.” The detective took Adams into custody after watching him meet up with a female at a nearby park.

“Between the two of them was the same distinctive backpack that the suspect retrieved immediately after the stabbing,” the prosecutors allege.

Adams is due back in court for a pre-trial conference on Sept. 26.
