SILVER SPRING, Md. (WBFF) -- A 19-year-old pregnant woman is in serious condition after being stabbed by a man in Montgomery County Wednesday afternoon.

The Montgomery County Police Department's Special Victims Division reports the domestic-related assault occurred in a wooded area just before 3:30 p.m. on Upton Drive off of Hillsdale Drive in Silver Spring.

According to investigators, the woman agreed to meet the 18-year-old suspect who is known to be in a relationship with her. Police are unsure of the circumstances leading up to her being stabbed multiple times by the suspect, and are also unsure of his motive for the attack.

The man fled the area, but was taken into custody by officers around 4 p.m. after he exited a bus on Palmira Lane and Dauphine Street.

The woman was conscious and stabilized at the scene and was taken to an area trauma center for medical treatment. She told police the name of the suspect and provided a description.

Authorities cannot confirm if the suspect is the father of the unborn baby at this time and say his identity will be released after he is charged.
