MIAMI – Miami police are investigating a double stabbing that occurred Friday morning.
According to authorities, Miami police officers responded to the area of Northeast Third Court and 79th Street shortly before 8 a.m. after receiving a report that a woman had been shot.
Officers arrived at the scene, however, to find that the woman and a man had actually been stabbed.
According to police, the suspect, who is in custody, was allegedly struck by the victims’ vehicle before he stabbed them.
“There was a male and a female inside a vehicle, and that vehicle hit a person that was walking and pinned them against the wall,” Officer Michael Vega said.
Surveillance video shows that after the man broke free, he attacked the people inside the vehicle.
“That person that (was) pinned against the wall was able to break loose and stab the male several times and stab the female one time,” Vega said.
Employees at surrounding businesses arrived to work to see the police response -- crime scene units and evidence markers lining the street.
Local 10 News learned the man and woman called 911 themselves before being rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center.
“The male and female, which we learned are both in their 20s, were taken to Jackson Memorial, where they were treated for their injuries,” Vega said.
Police said the suspect took off after the stabbing, but was eventually taken into custody.
While the alleged victims recover, police say they are working to find out what led up to the unusual crime.
“There is still a possibility that one of the victims may still be charged,” Vega said.
Police say they are having a difficult time finding out what led up to the double stabbing because the alleged victims in this case are not cooperating with the investigation.
