Cumberland, MD – A street confrontation in Cumberland ended in violence Thursday when a man pulled a knife and stabbed another during an argument with a driver, according to police.
The incident unfolded near Frederick Street and Queen City Drive, where officers responded to reports of a stabbing. Around the same time, a man entered police headquarters claiming he had nearly been struck by a vehicle in the same area.
