Police said the assailant was armed, but they discounted early reports of gunfire. Maryland State Police spokesman Gregory M. Shipley said the attack occurred about 11:30 a.m. in the southbound lanes just north of Interstate 195. He said an older man came out of the woods and approached a parked State Highway Administration Jeep being operated by a speed camera contractor.
