The Metropolitan Police Department is urging community members to aid in the search for a suspect linked to a recent stabbing in Southeast D.C. The attack, which took place last week on Thursday, September 5, resulted in one individual sustaining non-life-threatening injuries and subsequently receiving medical attention at a local hospital.

According to MPD's official statement, the event was brought to the attention of the police at around 4:41 p.m., when DC Fire and EMS personnel, who were tending to the victim, notified officers in the 1500 block of Marion Barry Avenue, Southeast. The victim of the stabbing, whose identity remains undisclosed, was treated on the scene before the transport.

The police have not released details regarding the circumstances that led to the stabbing or a description of the suspect involved. As they continue to investigate, they're reaching out to the public for any information that may lead to the apprehension and conviction of the suspect. The department is offering a reward of up to $10,000, which underscores the urgency and seriousness with which they view this violent act within the community.

Residents with knowledge of the case are strongly encouraged to come forward, staying safe by not confronting individuals but instead, contacting the police at (202) 727-9099 or texting their tip to the MPD's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411. "Anyone who can identify this suspect or who has knowledge of this incident should take no action but call police," the MPD emphasized, reflecting a commitment to secure the necessary cooperation from the public while avoiding additional risk.
