CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. (AP) - A man was killed and a teenager was critically wounded in a stabbing at a metro station in Maryland on Thursday, police said.

Metro Transit Police responded to the Capitol Heights Metro Station outside of Washington around 8 p.m., where they found the victims suffering from severe lacerations “consistent with stab wounds,” the agency said in a statement.

The adult victim was pronounced dead at the scene and the teenager was taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to the statement.



Police said officers took a 23-year-old suspect into custody and recovered a knife from the scene.

No charges were announced and authorities did not immediately identify the victims or the suspect.
