Six people were injured after a man who was in an “altered mental state” from an unknown substance began stabbing people in a Washington, D.C., neighborhood, police said.

The suspect, who also stabbed himself in the incident, is in custody, police said.

The incident was reported around 3:22 p.m. on Thursday in the area of Montello Avenue and Meigs Place NE, in the Trinidad neighborhood, police said.

Based on preliminary information, the suspect began stabbing himself while walking down the street before stabbing a female acquaintance who was with him, Smith said.

He then stabbed others who were outside on the block as well as two good Samaritans who tried to intervene, the chief said.

Four women and two men were transported to area hospitals “as a result of a senseless assault,” Smith said. They include a grandmother and her two granddaughters, she said.

Six people were injured after a man went on a stabbing rampage in northeast Washington, D.C. on Thursday, police said.

The unidentified suspect was walking in the Trinidad neighborhood, a few blocks away from Gallaudet University, an institution for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, around 3 p.m. when he launched the attack.

Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith said he was in an “altered mental state from an unknown substance” as he allegedly began stabbing himself and a female acquaintance. The suspect then began stabbing others nearby, she said, adding that two good Samaritans attempted to intervene but were also stabbed.

In total, four women and two men, including the suspect, were transported to area hospitals for treatment. All of the individuals are currently stable.

The suspect was in surgery as Smith discussed the crime at a briefing. He was taken into custody without incident shortly after police responded around 3.22 p.m. A knife was recovered a few feet away.

“I want to offer my thoughts to the victims, their families and those who witnessed today’s events,” the police chief said.
