ELKTON, Md. — A 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Elkton on Friday night.

Elkton Police told WMAR that the teen was with a group of five or six other males, ranging in age, who allegedly ran toward a disabled man and began attacking him while he was walking on the sidewalk.

While being assaulted, the man, who is in his early 30s, pulled out a knife and began stabbing the teen in the neck.

Police say the group ran off following the stabbing, and the teen was dropped off at a local hospital in a private vehicle. He succumbed to his injuries later that night.

The motive for the assault on the disabled man is unknown at this time, according to the police, but the investigation remains ongoing.

Once the investigation concludes, the Cecil County State's Attorney's Office will review the case and determine what, if any, charges will be filed.
