Man arrested after driver is stabbed by pedestrian


A man suffered a severe laceration to his head after a stabbing near the intersection of Market and B streets in Aberdeen Tuesday at about 1 p.m., a statement from police says.


Aberdeen Police responded to the intersection after witnesses say a man had walked out in front of a car, causing the driver to make a quick stop. Witnesses told officers that the man on foot walked to the driver-side door of the car and hit the driver in the head with the knife, leaving a cut near his ear.


Witnesses said the victim then drove away and reported the incident from his home.


Police gathered a description of the suspect from witnesses, and reviewed surveillance video from the 7-Eleven convenience store at the intersection. A detective later identified and arrested the man, a 48-year-old from Aberdeen, in the 300 block of East Market Street for second-degree assault.


The suspect was taken to the City of Aberdeen Jail.
