The search for a woman who stabbed two people Thursday evening during a rampage in Prince George's County has ended.

The person of interest is accused of stabbing a 15-year-old in Landover and another man at a gas station in Lanham. Prince George's County Deputy Chief James McCreary said both are currently in critical condition.

The search is on for the person who stabbed two people Thursday evening in Prince George's County, and struck at least two other people who police say were walking on sidewalks.

Then, the woman allegedly drove further down Ritchie Road and struck two more people with her car. That's when McCreary said she hopped out and stabbed a 15-year-old girl.

Around 5:30 p.m., officers were sent to Addison Road South in Capitol Heights after a man was struck by the same vehicle. McCreary said that victim suffered "non-life-threatening injuries." Just minutes later, in the 1000 block of Addison Road South, a stabbing was reported at a Sunoco gas station. The man who was attacked, McCreary said, is in critical condition.

"These incidents occurred in divisions across the county. Detectives were able to determine we were looking for one person of interest," McCreary told reporters.

"This is very concerning. It's very frightening. I've been on the department for 20 years now and I can say that I have not seen anything like this since I joined the police department," he added. "The closest thing I can think of in recent memory was the D.C. sniper when I was coming up. It's shocking."

Detectives released a snapshot from a surveillance video which shows the person they were looking for. They're asking anyone with information to contact them.
