A man has been charged with stabbing his mother’s boyfriend in the chest and then running away during a fight last week in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Officers arrested O’Shea Hunter, 23, of Silver Spring, on the charge of first-degree assault, second-degree assault, resisting arrest and reckless endangerment.
The incident happened Wednesday afternoon in the 1500 block of November Circle in White Oak, when officers responded to reports of a stabbing.
Police said the investigation showed Hunter got into an argument with his mother’s boyfriend and threatened him with a fork before stabbing him with a “multi-tool knife” in the chest.
Hunter then followed the man into a bedroom and hit him with an “expandable baton” before running out of the home, according to police.
The man “sustained a laceration on his chest and elected not to receive medical treatment,” police said.
Hunter was found by police in the 11300 block of Lockwood Drive a short time later and jumped over a fence to avoid officers, police said.
He was transported to the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit and is being held without bond.
