Teenager Stabbed

            On Saturday, December 29 about 10:30 p.m., a 17-year-old Alexandria-area juvenile was stabbed. He was walking home in the area of Lincoln Avenue and Strawbridge Square with a friend when they were confronted by three or four individuals. The victim and his 14-year-old friend ran; the victim was caught. He was stabbed multiple times in the upper body and transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. It appears this was not a random assault. An investigation continues.

            The only description of the suspects was that they were white, of Hispanic descent and all wore black.

            Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS(8477) or Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.
