A driver injured himself and three others with a knife during a road rage incident in Dundalk on Monday night, Baltimore County police said. Police spokeswoma­n Officer Jennifer Peach said a Toyota pickup truck and Toyota Corolla were in a “traffic related incident” around 9 p.m. on Eastern Boulevard. Peach did not know what the incident was. Once the drivers reached the intersecti­on of North Point Road and Merritt Boulevard, Peach said, the man driving the truck got out of his car while three other men exited t he Corolla. The men all started arguing, Peach said, and the truck driver pulled out a utility knife and started cutting the other men. All four men were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatenin­g injuries. The man armed with the knife was arrested and is waiting to be booked into the jail, Peach said. Police did not identify him because he hadn’t been formally charged. volved one of our students. The threat was not directed at our school, nor was it directed at any individual in our school community. However, the message included a very serious and direct threat to a school system official,” McKinley wrote in the email. The student and the school system official were not named in the email. McKinley and River Hill administra­tion, county police, school system central office staff, and the Office of School Safety and Security launched an immediate investigat­ion and have met with the student and the parents “to discuss this concern and next steps.” The threat was posted on TikTok, a popular video app, “a couple of weeks ago, [and] it has since been deleted,” Lori Boone, a police spokeswoma­n, said i n an email. Through investigat­ion, police have determined it is not a legitimate threat but rather “was made as a ‘joke’ by the student.”Boone said, “It’s important to note, though, that charges are still possible.”
