(AP) — A woman was taken into police custody in the Maryland suburbs of Washington following a series of apparently random stabbings and pedestrians struck by a vehicle. Six people were injured, including two stabbing victims who were hospitalized in critical condition, police Deputy Chief James McCreary said during a news conference Thursday evening. Officials released a surveillance video of the woman, calling her a person of interest in the string of attacks. They found a woman with minor injuries who was walking on the sidewalk when someone hit her, McCreary said. A short time later, two more pedestrians were struck and injured a few miles from that scene, he said.
