Teen Cutting Chaos In Cameron Village Leaves Three Hurt

Three teenagers were hospitalized after a cutting assault shook the Cameron Village neighborhood of northeast Baltimore on Tuesday evening.

Officers responded to the 5500 block of Midwood Avenue around 8:20 p.m., where they found two 13-year-old boys suffering from non-life-threatening stab or cut wounds. A 17-year-old, identified by police as a person of interest, also had a non-life-threatening cut to his leg and is being questioned by detectives, FOX45 reported.

All three teens were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Investigators are now trying to piece together how the confrontation turned violent and whether any additional charges might follow, according to FOX45.

Police Response And How To Help

The Baltimore Police Department notes that 911 is the number to call for emergencies, while 311 is used for non-emergency tips. Anyone with video, photos, or other evidence that might help detectives is urged to contact officers directly or submit information through Metro Crime Stoppers, per the Baltimore Police Department.

Neighborhood Context

The Cameron Village cutting comes on the heels of other teen-involved incidents around the Baltimore area this spring. A recent Hoodline report, Pocketknife Brings Adult Charges, described a May episode at Woodlawn High where staff confiscated a pocketknife and an 18-year-old now faces adult charges, underscoring ongoing community worries about weapons in the hands of adolescents.

Detectives are continuing their investigation and have not released further details, according to FOX45. The Baltimore Police Department is asking anyone with information to call 311 for non-emergencies, contact Metro Crime Stoppers, or dial 911 in an emergency so investigators can follow up.
