Other Recent North Charleston Stabbings
The Charter Drive investigation comes amid other recent, separate stabbing reports in North Charleston, though nothing in the available reporting ties those cases to this one. Earlier, police investigated a stabbing reported on a Thursday night in the Forest Hills 2 community, according to ABC News 4. In that case, officers responded around 9 p.m. to a report near the 4600 block of Lowell Drive, and the victim sustained multiple injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. No arrests had been made in that case, which remained under active investigation, the outlet reported.
In a separate incident, an unknown assailant stabbed one man near Remount Road on a Sunday night, as ABC News 4 reported. That stabbing took place near the Charleston Farms community around 11:30 p.m. Neither of those earlier cases has been linked to the Charter Drive incident, and there is nothing in the current reporting to suggest a broader pattern connecting them.
For now, police are asking anyone in the Charter Drive area to stay clear or remain inside while the investigation continues. Hoodline will update this story as North Charleston police release more information.
