A 17-year-old’s family posted about 50 fliers near where the teen was stabbed and stuffed about 100 more in residential mailboxes in the area.
“I was really lucky,” said Max, a high school senior who spoke on the condition that his last name not be published, citing safety concerns. “Where I was at that time, I was able to run and get help quickly. If someone else has this happen, and they can’t run and get help, I don’t know if they’ll survive.”
“Obviously we don’t want this to happen again to anybody,” Max’s mother, 53, said in an interview, alsoAt 8:47 p.m. on Aug. 27, Max, 17, was jogging along Custis Trail, a recreational path in Arlington, listening to Joy Division’s “Atrocity Exhibition” through ear buds. As he was approaching the end of his two-mile route, he said that he saw a man walking toward him on the opposite side of the trail, where it passes under Washington Boulevard near Interstate 66.
As the assailant ran off, Max staggered onto Washington Boulevard, pressing a blood-soaked hand to his wound while waving at passing motorists for help. Cars whizzed by without stopping, he said, but a resident came out of his house and led Max to the front porch.“At that point, I could definitely feel the pain,” Max said. “It was really starting to hurt a lot. I don’t think I really had a grasp of how much blood I was actually losing.”“He said, ‘Mom, I’ve been stabbed!’ ” she recalled.
