WASHINGTON 鈥� A Thanksgiving-morning road-rage incident resulted in a stabbing in Anne Arundel County, police said, and the suspect and a driver are still being sought.
The victim suffered only minor injuries, 鈥渂ut it could have been much, much worse,鈥� said Sgt. Jacklyn Davis, with Anne Arundel County police, on Friday.
Davis said it happened on Central Avenue at Muddy Creek Driver, in Edgewater, at about 10:45 a.m. Thursday, when two drivers pulled off to the side of the road and got into an argument.
A passenger in one of the vehicles eventually got out and stabbed the driver of the other vehicle in the hip, Davis said; then he and the driver got back in the vehicle and drove off.
Police described the suspect as a white boy, about 16, with curly hair; the driver, as a middle-ages white woman with curly brown hair, and the vehicle as a dark green Jeep Compass or Jeep Patriot. They鈥檙e asking anyone with more information to call the detectives at 410-222-1960, or the Tip Line at 410-222-4700.
Davis said the police don鈥檛 know what caused the argument, but added that people shouldn鈥檛 take driving disputes into their own hands: 鈥淐all us. Let us pull somebody over; don鈥檛 try to give a driving lesson on the side of the road.鈥�
Frustration with other drivers can be understandable, Davis said: 鈥淲e all do it, honestly鈥� 鈥� but people should leave the law enforcement to the professionals.
鈥淕et a tag number, let us know where you last saw them, and let us look for them,鈥� Davis said. 鈥淵ou never know who鈥檚 in that car or what they鈥檙e capable of.鈥�
