Man Arrested After Stabbing 3 Relatives Inside Car, Police Say

A 25-year-old man is facing three counts of attempted murder after police say he stabbed three family members as they sat in a car in Waldorf, Maryland, Sunday night. 

Police are called to the 4300 block of Renner Road at about 11:30 p.m. for a report of a stabbing. When they arrived, they found a 19-year-old man lying in the street with a stab wound. 

As officers continued down the road, they found a 44-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy with stab wounds. 

Police say the victims were sitting in an SUV with Marcus Marques Allen of Rochester, New York, when he pulled out a knife and began stabbing them. Police say don't know what prompted the attack. 

A fifth person in the car escaped without injury. All of the victims are expected to survive. 

After the stabbing, police say Allen drove to Prince George's County and called 911 to report an unknown problem. An officer came to his location, and he was arrested. 

Allen was taken to the hospital and released into police custody. He was charged with three counts of attempted murder, first-degree assault and second-degree assault.
