Around 7 p.m. Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the area of Sugarland Run Elementary school where the victim of a stabbing had apparently gone to several homes seeking help.

The victim, a 23-year-old Sterling, VA man, told authorities he was riding his bike in the area when he was approached by an unknown subject who demanded cash. The victim refused to give the suspect money and was stabbed by the suspect.

The suspect was described as a tall Black male in his early twenties, wearing a black t-shirt, a gray hooded sweatshirt and black pants. The area was searched by multiple patrol units including a K-9 Unit. No suspect matching this description was located. The victim was airlifted to INOVA Fairfax Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.

The incident was not related to any activities at the elementary school and authorities do not believe there is any threat to the students who attend the school.

If the caller wishes to remain anonymous they are asked to contact Loudoun Crime Solvers.
