UPDATE: Two Men Stabbed in Gaithersburg, A Third Arrested

Update: Police have arrested and charged 20-year-old Fernando Reyes-Hernandez with two counts of first-degree assault after he slashed two men at a party in Flower Hill on Saturday.

Shortly after 3 a.m. on Feb. 26, police were called to 18322 Streamside Dr. for a report of multiple stabbings.

When they arrived they found two men, one 34-years-old and one 23-years-old, suffering from gashes, according to Angela Cruz, a spokeswoman for Montgomery County Police.

The older man had cuts on his face and body that were not life-threatening, Cruz said. The younger man had a gash on his thumb.

Reyes-Hernandez and the 34-year-old were taken to Suburban hospital for treatment in non-life-threatening condition.

At the party an argument broke out between Reyes-Hernandez and the older man, who  is from Montgomery Village, Cruz said. Rayes-Hernandez, who lives at the apartment where the fight took place, grabbed a box-cutter and began attacking the older victim.

The younger victim, from Gaithersburg, was sliced on the thumb while trying to break up the fight, Cruz said.

Reyes-Hernandez plead guilty in 2009 to driving without a license, but has no prior criminal record listed in an online court database.

The database did not list and attorney for Reyes-Hernandez.
