Man stabbed at the Avenue in White Marsh

A man was stabbed in a fight after restaurants closed at the Avenue at White Marsh shopping center early Friday, Baltimore County police said. Officers were called to the mall, at 8125 Honeygo Blvd., around1:47 a.m. for reports of a disturbance after fights began breaking out at nearby restaurants as they were closing, police said. Later, 911 dispatchers learned that a 28-year-old man was injured and driven to a hospital. Despite reports of gunshots, hospital staff determined that the man had been stabbed in his lower body, police said. No one was found with gunshot wounds at the Avenue, police said. The incident comes a month after a fight at nearby White Marsh Mall led to the arrest of seven juveniles and two 19year-olds. That fight prompted calls from two Baltimore County Council members to restrict late-night bus service to the area — a proposal that met swift backlash from city officials. The Eastern Family Resource Center in Rossville is restricting the use of water at the facility after two individuals who “spent some time at the Center” were diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease, according to a press release from the Baltimore County Department of Health and Human Services. “While it is possible that exposure in these cases could have happened somewhere else, in an abundance of caution, the Baltimore County Department of Health is limiting the oral consumption of water and discontinuing the use of showers at this facility,” the release said. The resource center offers women and families overnight and transitional shelters, and a men’s shelter. The center is open to county programs offering family planning, dental services, immunizations and other low-cost healthcare services.
