The victim told officers he was walking with his wife southbound on Northwest Military Highway when another man emerged from the bushes and walked toward them, police said.

The victim told police he was unable to understand the man due to a language barrier and kept walking.

Police said the man then stabbed the victim once in the back “without provocation” and fled the area on foot. He was found by officers nearby and apprehended.

The victim was treated by EMS at the scene.

The apprehended man has not been identified as of Sunday morning, but police said he was 46 years old.

Additional information was not immediately available. The investigation is ongoing.
