“We are relieved to hear the suspect has been arrested. At this time we would ask for privacy so everyone can focus on healing and recovery.”

“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s First District announce an arrest has been made in reference to an Assault with Intent to Kill (Knife) offense that occurred on Saturday, March 25, 2023, in the 1300 block of H Street, Northeast.

“At approximately 5:17 pm, members of the First District were dispatched to the listed location for the report of a stabbing. 

“Upon arrival, members located an adult male stabbing victim. 

“The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries.

“On Saturday, March 25, 2023, as a result of the detectives’ investigation, 42-year-old Glynn Neal, of Southeast, DC, was arrested and charged with Assault with Intent to Kill (Knife).”

Tim Todd, the uncle of Phillip Todd the Rand Paul staffer who was stabbed in the head and stomach on Saturday in broad daylight in Washington DC issued a heartbreaking update on his nephew.

Tim said: “Update on my nephew Phillip Todd: Abdomen surgery went well this morning. There was damage to his spleen and some leaking in other areas. Please continue to pray for damage to the abdomen area, skull, brain, collapsed lung, etc.
