WASHINGTON — Police are asking for the public's help identifying and locating a person they say stabbed a security guard in Northeast D.C. early Sunday morning.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), officers were called to the 1300 block of 2nd Street, NE just before 2:45 a.m. 

When officers arrived, they learned an unarmed security guard was escorting the suspect off the property when the suspect reportedly took out a knife and stabbed the security guard before running away. 

The victim was taken to an area hospital for help and is expected to survive.

On Monday, police released a photo of the person they say is connected to the stabbing and now faces charges of Assault with Intent to Kill (Knife).
