A 13-year-old boy was stabbed in the bathroom of a McDonald’s restaurant near the Alexandria border on Saturday night.

The incident occurred at around 6:50 p.m. in the McDonald’s at 6302 Little River Turnpike, which is in Fairfax County. The Fairfax County Police Department found a grisly scene in the men’s bathroom.

“We’ve got blood all over the place,” a responding officer told dispatch.

The victim suffered a non-life threatening injury and fled from the scene to a nearby apartment complex, where he called police, according to the police scanner.

Police reported that there were as many as eight male suspects who ran from the scene in multiple directions. The suspect with the knife was described as a Black male wearing a red hat and dark T-shirt.

ALXnow has reached out to FCPD and the Alexandria Police Department for more on this incident.
