Bethesda stabbing now under investigation by police

Here's an update on a violent crime story I broke on Tuesday: The stabbing on Thoreau Drive in Bethesda is now being investigated by Montgomery County police detectives. More details are now available, as well. Police say a 23-year-old male was walking westbound on Wilson Lane (between Old Georgetown Road and Bradley Boulevard) around 1:00 AM Sunday, when a small, silver SUV stopped. Two black males in the SUV, believed to be in their 20s, offered the man a ride.

The victim accepted the offer, and was driven to a home in the 8300 block of Thoreau. As the victim walked from the SUV toward the house, he was allegedly jumped by the two men, whom he said then punched, kicked, and stabbed him multiple times. They then fled in the SUV.

Someone called 911, and the victim was transported to a local hospital. His injuries are described as non-life-threatening.

Police not only want any information you might have about this case, but in particular, they are interested in video from home surveillance cameras on Thoreau Drive and other nearby streets. They ask that you review any footage you have, and if you see suspicious activity or the silver SUV, to share that with them.

Anyone who has information about the suspects or stabbing is asked to call the 2nd District Investigative Section at 240-773-6710. Those who wish to remain anonymous may call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). Crime Solvers will pay a cash reward of up to $10,000 for information provided to them that leads to an arrest in this case.
