On April 23 at 10:32 p.m., officers responded to the 2200 block of Sugar Mill Court in Waldorf, after receiving a call that two men were fighting in front of a house.
When officers arrived, they found the victim, a 35-year-old male, lying unconscious in the yard. He was transported to a hospital where he was admitted with non life-threatening injuries. The suspect had already fled the scene.

For reasons that are unclear, the suspect assaulted the victim and attacked him with a knife. The victim sustained lacerations and head trauma. On April 27, detectives arrested Dewayne Alphonso Ford, Jr., 19, of Waldorf, and charged him with first-degree assault.
Detective G. Higgs is investigating.
