A car crash in Laurel Saturday night turned into a double stabbing that left two people hospitalized in what Anne Arundel County Police said was being investigated as a road rage incident.
Anne Arundel County Fire officials said crews were dispatched to Fort Meade Road and Russett Green for the report of a car crash around 8:42 p.m.
A short time later, the call was upgraded to a stabbing and two people were transported to Maryland Shock Trauma, fire officials said. According police, the stabbing occurred after occupants of one of the vehicles began attacking the occupants of the other vehicle following the crash.
Police were unable to indicate if the stabbing was out of self-defense, but said the matter is under investigation and will be presented to the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney’s Office for evaluation.
The two people taken to Shock Trauma were treated for what police said were non-life-threatening injuries related to the stabbing. A child was also taken to the hospital to be treated for a dislocated arm.
