Late Wednesday morning, March 18, what Charlotte-Mecklenburg police describe as an "assault with a deadly weapon" rattled the usually busy Sharon Amity corridor. Shortly before 11:30 a.m., officers were called to the 100 block of S. Sharon Amity Road in the Providence Division, where they found a female victim with non-life-threatening injuries. Now, investigators are asking for the public's help to track down both a suspect and a vehicle tied to the case.
