    I rode through around 6:15 PM, came up to the part where the trail is adjacent to the road, saw a LOT of police cars, fire trucks, even some Alexandria police cars. It was north side of Glebe, so I just rode home (I had been passed earlier by a fire truck on Eads SB).

    Today ArlNow says a trail user was stabbed at 5:00 PM after an altercation with a group of suspects, was given aide by other trail users. Injuries now considered non life threatening. Police are investigating.

    It would help to know if this was people who knew each other or a random attack. Scary if it’s the latter.

    Police have charged three Alexandria, VA juveniles for their involvement in a stabbing on the Four Mile Run Trail on Monday evening. The suspects, ages 16 and 17, were each charged with Aggravated Malicious Wounding, Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Malicious Wounding and Gang Participation.

    At approximately 4:50 p.m. on January 22, police were dispatched to the 3400 block of S. Glebe Road for the report of a stabbing. Arriving officers located one male victim suffering from multiple stab wounds and immediately began performing life saving measures. The victim was transported by Alexandria Fire Medics to George Washington University Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

    The investigation determined that the male victim was walking on the trail when he was approached by the suspects. Following a verbal altercation, the suspects assaulted the victim before fleeing the area. Arriving officers established a perimeter and located three suspects matching the descriptions provided by witnesses.

    The investigation into this incident is ongoing. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact Detective Henretty of the Arlington County Police Department’s Gang Unit at 703-228-4110 or Mhenretty@arlingtonva.us. Information may also be provided anonymously through the Arlington County Crime Solvers hotline at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).

    Oh man. I rode through there around 5:20 Monday evening and saw loads of police activity, but did not stop to ask for information. Glad they caught the suspects and the victim will eventually be okay.
