Stabbing Suspects Sought In Woodbridge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Authorities are looking for two men who stabbed another man Friday night shortly he refused their demands to give them his shoes while inside a 7-Eleven convenience store at 13990 Jefferson Davis Highway, according to Prince William Count Police.

• One suspect was described as Hispanic, in his late teens or early 20s, about 6-0 with a goatee. He was carrying a sharp-edged used in the stabbing and was wearing black or light green jacket, light khaki pants and a black cap with purple lines.
• The other suspect was described as Hispanic, in his late teens or early 20s, about 5-10 and last seen wearing a a blue North Face hooded sweatshirt with a large North Face logo on the front, a gray and black winter ski cap and dark pants.

Shortly before 8:30 p.m., police responded to a call from the victim, 25, who said the incident had occurred about a half hour earlier. He told police that while inside the store, he was approached by two unknown men who took a liking to his shoes — so much so, in fact, they ordered him to take them off and hand them over.

The victim refused and completed his purchase while the suspects left the store. But while he was leaving, one of the suspects ran past him, stabbed him the lower body with an unknown "edged object," and then tried to do so again. They then fled in a black car, possibly a Honda or Toyota. The victim was taken to a local hospital with injuries that weren't life-threatening.

Anyone with information is urged to call 703-792-6500.
