SUFFOLK, Va. (AP) - Four people, including two police officers, were stabbed while Virginia authorities were serving an emergency custody order Sunday night, according to law enforcement.

Suffolk police officers responded to a home around 9:30 p.m. and spoke to multiple people before being confronted by the suspect involved in the custody order, a statement from the department said.

The man attacked the four adults with a knife, and all four were hospitalized with serious injuries. Three were treated and released, but one officer remained in the hospital Monday, police said.



The man was taken into custody without further incident and charges were pending, according to the statement.
