WOODBRIDGE, VA — A man was seriously injured during a stabbing Sunday night after he and a female acquaintance were accosted by two unknown men while standing in the backyard of residence in the 13500 block of Kingsman Road, according to Prince William County Police. He was taken to a local hospital with injuries not considered life threatening. The woman suffered minor injuries after being hit in the head with a gun.

They demanded to be let into the residence but the victims replied they couldn't do that because they were locked out. That's when the woman was hit in the head with a gun while the other suspect attempted to restrain the man, who was then stabbed in the head during a struggle. He was flown to a local hospital for treatment.
