A 23-year-old Baltimore man is charged with first-degree attempted murder for stabbing a 15-year-old girl Thursday night in Northwest Baltimore, Baltimore Police announced on Saturday.
Police say units responded to the 3800 block of Belle Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday for a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers found a 15-year-old girl who said she had escaped from a basement in the area and was stabbed by an unknown man.
She is expected to survive her injuries.
On Saturday, investigators apprehended the suspect, 23-year-old Abubakarr Barrie, in the 3700 block of Garrison Boulevard. He was arrested only a few blocks, less than half a mile, away from where police found the teen with a stab wound.
According to court records, Barrie has been charged with first- and second-degree attempted murder, numerous assault charges, kidnapping, and false imprisonment.
Barrie has a bail review scheduled Monday morning.
