I was initially not that interested in a domestic incident tonight out on Boyleston Street in Lowell, where a fairly large, 260 pound, suspect, apparently had some issues with family members.

The guy fled the scene, though, and before long police called in a canine officer from Methuen and began tracking the attacker.

The track led onto Interstate 495, so if you saw a police dog and several officers jogging down the highway about 6:45 p.m., now you know what they were doing.

The dog lost the track in Stadium Plaza.

Police say the suspect has a lot of ties to Tewksbury, and police there are looking for him too. He's about 6 feet tall, 260 pounds, but I missed his clothing description.

No one was hospitalized as a result of the domestic. I don't have many details on what happened there yet.
