A suspect has been apprehended by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in connection with a recent stabbing and vehicle theft on North Capitol Street in Northwest D.C. The incident, which took place on Tuesday, involved the victim and two other individuals inside a vehicle before one suspect attacked with a knife. According to the official MPD release, after the stabbing, the suspects fled—one with the vehicle—and the victim was left to seek medical attention for non-life-threatening injuries.
The vehicle in question was later recovered, and a D.C. Superior Court arrest warrant yielded results two days later on Thursday. Terrence Stanley, 37, of Northeast, D.C., was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including Assault With A Dangerous Weapon (Knife) and Theft First Degree (Stolen Auto). Notably, a charge of Fugitive From Justice was also included in Stanley's arrest record.
The case is presently active, with MPD continuing its investigation into the incident. The department urges anyone with information relevant to the assault on North Capitol Street to come forward. The MPD has made clear that individuals should contact the police at (202) 727-9099. Alternatively, tipsters can send a message to the MPD's TEXT TIP LINE at 50411; the MPD is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for details that lead to an arrest and conviction in connection with the crime.
