Arlington County Police are investigating a stabbing in the Arlington Mill neighborhood on Friday evening that left three people injured.

At approximately 6:08 p.m., police were dispatched to the report of a stabbing in the 5100 block of Columbia Pike. Upon arrival, officers located an adult male subject suffering from a laceration and immediately began rendering aid.

According to Arlington County Police, responding officers canvassed the area and located an additional adult male subject in the 1000 block of South Frederick Street and a juvenile male subject in the 5000 block of 8th Road South also suffering from lacerations and rendered aid.

All three patients were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries.
