ARLINGTON, VA — A 25-year-old Arlington man and an unnamed teen are facing malicious wounding charges in connection to a stabbing that took place Friday night in Arlington Mill, authorities say.

Officers from the Arlington County Police Department responded around 10:19 p.m. for the report of a stabbing in the 800 block of South Arlington Mill Drive.

"Upon arrival, it was determined the male victim exited his parked vehicle when he was approached by three male suspects who allegedly physically assaulted him and struck him several times with a knife, causing lacerations," according to the incident report.

The officers administered first aid to the victim until the arrival of emergency medical personnel, who transported him to an area hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries, police say.

Through their investigation, officers located two suspects in connection to the case, 25-year-old Jacobo Orellana Turcios of Arlington and an unnamed teen, police reported.
