Re: [Chat] Stabbing on 3000-block of Guilford

Emil, thank you for the warning. 
Any updates on the outcome of this would be welcomed.  Was the person who was 
attacked able to identify the person.  Can we possibly get more information 
about a description of who did the attacking so that we can be on the look out 
for this person if we see them milling around waiting for another house to 
break in to?

 Hello, neighbors,
 
 There was a serious stabbing attack on our block.
 The story we heard is that a man returned home to
 find an intruder who attacked and stabbed him multiple
 times. Police arrived about 10 minutes after the 911
 call. I saw them wheel the man away on a stretcher.
 He was conscious and lifted his head. I could see
 blood on his legs. Somebody heard him joke that he
 thinks he won't be going to work tomorrow.
 
 Guilford at 31st is taped off as a crime scene and
 the police just asked everyone to go inside.
 Nobody we talked to saw the attacker.
 
 We have a friend who moved next door just a week
 ago. She came to Charles Village to find a safer
 neighborhood. What a welcome.

Emil,

My wife woke me up last night about 11 because there were police cars 
and ambulances near the other end of the block.  When  I spoke to people 
closer to the scene than your house, they told me that the victim had 
been stabbed in the mouth and the shoulder and was expected to recover.  
It is certainly fortunate that he is expected to recover.


Let us hope that the perpetrator is caught quickly.  Fortunately, 
Northern District generally does a good job of catching criminals.


And when there is an arrest, I certainly plan to follow the court 
proceedings closely.  My reports generally go on the discussion list.


Fortunately, what happened last night is rare on our block.  I do not 
recall any crime like this one in the 41 years that I have lived on the 
block.


On the other hand, there was a burglary on our block early one morning 
in June where the perpetrator rifled through kitchen knives, left them, 
and left the house with 4 bottles of wine.  If he had been surprised by 
the victim, it might have been tragic.  As it happened, the alleged 
perpetrator, Thomas Causion, was arrested drinking the wine on 
Greenmount Avenue minutes after the burglary, is currently in jail 
apparently unable to post $55,000 bail, and is currently scheduled for 
trial in Circuit Court October 24.  See the discussion list for details.


One lesson is that we all should make it as difficult as possible for 
someone to break into a house through a first floor window.  My 
impression (but I am not sure) is that that was the means of entry last 
night.


BTW, one can sign up for crime bulletins from Johns  Hopkins University, 
and what appears in those bulletins generally is reproduced in the 
weekly crime bulletins from the benefits district.  I expect that we 
will get more information today from the JHU bulletin.


And please tell your new next door neighbor that we all welcome her to 
the neighborhood and that what happened is not typical of what happens 
on  the 3000 block of Guilford.  JHU patrols the 3000, 3100 and 3200 
blocks of Guilford extensively, and in fact, one of its vehicles is used 
almost exclusively to patrol just those 3 blocks.  That is a definite 
help to our block.

Thanks the updates Emil and Steve.  I hope your neighbor is OK.  It's a good 
reminder on a gorgeous day like this not to get too comfortable and leave back 
doors open for fresh air, etc.

This is so frightening. This community works so hard to be safe  vibrant. This 
makes me think back 5 years, when a man on a bicycle came after me with a knife 
outside of our building. Thank god I got in the building before he caught up to 
me.

Best wishes to the young man on Calvert Street, my prayers are with you.

I just came across this brief article in The Sun.
 
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/blog/2011/08/police_investigating_stabbing.html

Police investigating stabbing by home intruder in Charles Village
 

Police confirmed that they are investigating a stabbing by an intruder who 
broke into a home in Charles Village Tuesday night. 
 
According to a report, the 25-year-old victim and his girlfriend were awakened 
by his barking dog at 11 p.m. and the victim went downstairs, where he found an 
intruder in the living room of his home, in the 3100 block of Guilford Rd. [sic]
 
The intruder punched the victim in the face, then brandished a knife and 
continuously stabbed the victim in the face and his side until the struggle 
ended, allowing the suspect to flee the residence. As of last report, the 
victim was at Johns Hopkins Hospital in stable condition. 

Police describe the suspect as a black male with a medium complexion, 
6'0-6'3, short hair and a slim build.He is believed to have entered through a 
rear kitchen window, which had been left open for ventilation. 
 
Northern District detectives are investigating.
