A teen-ager suspected of breaking into a house and stabbing three people Saturday was arrested last night.
Terrence Boone, 17, was arrested about 10 p.m. at home in the 2500 block of Southdene Ave. in the Lakeland community in southern Baltimore, said Sgt. Scott Rowe, a police spokesman.
Boone was charged in warrants as an adult with three counts of attempted first-degree murder in the break-in that occurred about 2 a.m. Saturday. Police said two men, ages 20 and 42, and a woman, 39, were stabbed by a male who entered a residence in the 2700 block of Hollins Ferry Road through a basement door and stole a wallet and other items.
Police said the victims were treated at area hospitals and released.
Police shut down the MARC commuter rail line in southern Baltimore during yesterday morning's rush hour as they searched for Boone. Officers had spotted him about 6:40 a.m. in the woods off Hollins Ferry Road.
Trains were stopped for about 45 minutes between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. near Morrell Park. Police said they were concerned for the safety of officers, who were walking along the tracks seeking the youth.
Boone was being held at Central Booking and Intake Center, pending a bail hearing today in District Court, Rowe said.
