Triple Stabbing Near Windsor Mill: 2 Teens Charged, Police Say

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — After three people were stabbed during a fight among neighbors in Baltimore County, police say two teens are being charged as adults. One of the victims sustained a life-threatening injury, according to officials.

Jermaine Isaiah Foster, 15, and Jordan Tyrone Foster, 15, both of the 2500 block of Elesmere Drive, were charged with two counts apiece of attempted first-degree murder and three counts each of first-degree assault.

Police said the charges stemmed from a fight after midnight on Sunday, April 7, in the 2500 block of Elesmere Drive.

It began when a 14-year-old boy and the Fosters got into an argument at a playground nearby. When the younger boy asked for help from an 18-year-old man and 40-year-old man, officials allege the two suspects approached them and one pulled out a knife.

The Fosters had stolen the younger boy's shoes on the playground, WBAL reported, and he went home to enlist the help of his older brother and father.

One of the suspects stabbed three people, which police said resulting in injuries:

• The 18-year-old man was taken to an area hospital with a life-threatening injury after being stabbed in the upper body, police said. He was reportedly stabbed in the chest.
• The 40-year-old man suffered upper body injuries that were not believed to be life-threatening, and he was also hospitalized. According to WBAL, he was stabbed in the arm.
• The 14-year-old boy was cut in the upper body when he tried to break up the fight and was said to have been treated for cuts at the scene.

Although the teens left before police arrived, authorities said they were arrested a few hours later.

Both are being held without bail.
