Woman charged with stabbing 2 people inside Woodbridge apartment

The woman managed to avoid arrest for nearly two weeks.

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — A woman is facing charges after two people were stabbed in Prince William County earlier this month.  

The stabbing happened in the 1800 block of Gableridge Turn in Woodbridge around 5 a.m., according to a social media post from the Prince William County Police Department. Investigators say a 59-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman were flown to an area hospital for treatment of their injuries. A public information officer says both people are expected to survive.

Later, police said the woman and an acquaintance got into an argument that escalated. When the 59-year-old man tried to intervene, the suspect, identified as 35-year-old Khadija Campbell of Woodbridge, pulled out a knife and reportedly stabbed both people.

Police were in the area that morning searching for a suspect who left the scene on foot following the stabbing. 

Campbell was arrested on Wednesday and charged with malicious wounding, pretrial violation and failure to appear.
